z/OS Log Request Handling

Fixes long-standing inconsistencies with z/OS log API request URL construction.

The SDK no longer sends a client-generated time parameter unless the caller explicitly provides a startTime. When startTime is omitted, z/OSMF is allowed to use its own server-side current time. This avoids failures where a client-generated timestamp may be slightly ahead of the z/OSMF server clock and rejected with:

The time or timestamp specified is a future time. Only a past time point is valid.

The query-string construction was also simplified so optional parameters are collected and joined consistently with &, preventing malformed URLs when multiple optional parameters are supplied.

Paginated z/OS Log Retrieval

Adds a new overloaded issueCommand method to support retrieving larger z/OS log result sets across multiple z/OSMF requests.

z/OSMF returns a maximum of 10,000 log items per request. The existing issueCommand(ZosLogInputData) method returns a single response. The new overloaded method allows callers to continue retrieving additional responses by using the nextTimestamp value returned by z/OSMF as the timestamp parameter on follow-up requests.

New method:

public List<ZosLogResponse> issueCommand(final ZosLogInputData logInputData,
                                         final int totalItemThreshold) throws ZosmfRequestException
