optimize output in the microcode "health check" panel in the DSGUI

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We moved from 89.32.40.0 to 89.33.35.0 using the internal microcode function of the DS GUI.
Everything works fine, but we think that the UX and GUI output of the "System Health Check" could be visualy better.

So you can better understand what you see on the screenshots and in the files:
The screenshot (systemhealth.png) was taken after the "System Health Check" was performed. This "Health Check" was initiated via DS-GUI Settings -> Update System -> Health Check.
In order to understand which commands are initiated to perform the health check we clicked on more details but this output is not readable at all.

So we copy the output to a local text file. But now everything was in one line. I think the output should be a little different than what is seen in the other text file. 

It would be also a good enhancement to show the health check in a bigger window like the normal "Health Check and Activate" (see screenshot systemupdate.png) button generate.

As a additional enhancement should be there a download button or "save as..." to save the output on the local computer.
