SP move data out of CLOUD containers

Once TSM/SP data ends up in a CLOUD pool, there is no way to every move it anywhere else. We should be able to move data out of a cloud pool.

MOVE NODADATA might be relevant, but would only work if you could specify source and destination pools. That's a big change.

MOVE CONTAINER to another pool would not be right, because you might move half of an object. This might be okay if there were code overlaps with tiering stgrules to ensure whole objects got moved, etc.

Changing TIER stgrules to allow CLOUD as a source pool would probably be the best option. This would already do everything desired/needed. The main concern with this now is the data recall costs, but that would be expected when moving from CLOUD to DIRECTORY, or CLOUD to CLOUD pools. It might require STGPOOLDIRs on both source and target pools of some multiple of the largest single object in the pool for proper chunk reassembly.
