Improve information in ANR3605E messages

Any ANR3605E message which appears in the server activity log does not indicate which storage agent is the subject of the communication failure. In large LAN-free environments (10s or 100s of storage agents) this can make identifying the source of the error difficult.

The only clue provided in the message is the session number, but in such cases this usually references a session which no longer exists and no other message accompanies it to say which system is the source of the session which has ended.

Such storage agent sessions are typically long-established - beginning either when the storage agent was last restarted, or when the server instance was last restarted. If the duration of the session exceeds the activity log retention then all evidence as to the originator of the session has been lost.

Ideally the name of the storage agent needs to be included in the message text.
