Expose signer and signature information from MQ AMS to applications Merged

AMS enables messages to be signed by the sender, and the policy enforces that only signed messages can be received. However, the receiver does not have access to information about who signed the messages.

Please add the ability for applications to query the information related to signed messages when AMS is in use. This could for example be implemented as message property information using reserved property names (MQAMS_SIGNER_DN, MQAMS_CERTIFICATE_CHAIN, MQAMS_SIGNATURE for example).

The properties supported should allow identification of the message sender (signing certificate DN) and sufficient information to allow the applicating to implement non-repudiation. The non-repudiation requirement is more complex, but I think can be managed if the certificate, certificate trust chain and the message signature are available. It might be that the full signed message content needs to be presented to the application on request.

The data storage requirements for non-repudiation would be an application responsibility, not MQ or AMS.

In order to re-validate the message subsequently, an API which allows a message to be presented to AMS from an application, instead of from a queue would be needed.
