Local unjar/unzip function for archives on z/OS #3916

Description

@PhilWakelin

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

On z/OS we frequently work with archives such as Java archives (i.e JARs/WARs) to run Web apps, or .zip archives which can be downloaded or produced by tools like the CICS Bundle plugin. These archive may well need to be exploded to be worked on.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the ability to unpack an archive locally in USS without having to drop into a shell to run the jar utility on USS. Hopefully the UI could build a relevant JAR command to unpack any given archive based on the extension name, and then the RSE or ZOSMF server could execute the JAR command locally on that archive.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using RSE editor -> User Action -> unjar
