Redesign DELETE FILESPACE for reduced log pinning and active log utilization

DELETE FILESPACE pins the DB2 active log st the start, and considers the entire deletion one transaction. This is not how ingested data is handled.

Because of this disparity, it is possible to receive a large object, such as an NDMP backup, which later can never be deleted.

    As an update - this is specifically large objects in NCF containers are monolithically deleted, while DCF chunks are batch deleted.

    4.5 months of work, and the cleanup appears complete.

    The defect has been acknowledged, but there is no APAR and no committment for inclusion in the code stream.

    This is a defect, not an RFE. Please open a PMR and pursue through the service path.
