For Uniform Clustering, we have a need to know more easily that the QMGR connection changed without having to query the connection for QMGR name for all MQ API calls constantly

We have some older MQ client connections that require to allocate a REPLY Q to identify the QMGR in use which is used to allocate a custom REPLY to Q name.  Since UC can move connections around to rebalance them, it would be useful to have a variable to query on the MQ Client side to say where is the QMGR is connected now.  If the QMGR name changed within the variable, then the application should reopen the appropriate custom REPLY queue.  It might be useful to optionally see the connection changes in the error logs to know if the application is losing connections frequently which might be indicative of a bigger problem for the server and or network.  The logging would be environmental variable to turn it on.
