Support for Multi-Target GM Copies

This is around having single volumes use GM to do multi-target copies to two different sites. i.e. A to B and A to C (both async) simultaneously. [Cascaded A to B, then B to C both async would also be fine].
In Sametime session with Gail Spears, she indicated no Multi-Target GM/GM was possible as yet. She said the only thing we offer currently is GM/GC. They could do an incremental flashcopy to GC at A to get a consistent copy, but RPO would be high. Gail didn't think we'd got many requests for customers to do this, so asked me to submit a RFE to "help grease the skids".

Idea priority High
