add option to PROTECT STGPOOL TYPE=LOCAL to select the target pool

The definition of a container storage pool allows to specify up to two local protection pools (tape). When the "protect stgpool type=local" command is used to update the local protection pool(s) there is currently no way to have it update only one of the up to two pools.

    What about adding UPD STG to your DRM procedures?
    UPD STG mypool PROTECTLOCAL="COPYPOOL1"
    PROTECT STGPOOL mypool T=LOCAL
    MOVE DRMEDIA ....

    then the next rotation
    UPD STG mypool PROTECTLOCAL="COPYPOOL2"
    PROTECT STGPOOL mypool T=LOCAL
    MOVE DRMEDIA ....

    ??

    But, I agree that specifying the pool name on PROTECT STG would be nice, since we have/had this with BACKUP STG.
