Provide aliases of SSL related attributes in runmqsc

Existing runmqsc commands for channels with TLS parameters (SSLCIPH, SSLPEER etc) lead to cognative dissonance as they no longer control SSL, but rather TLS. The documentation and GUI (MQ Explorer and MQ Console) have updated the names of these fields, but runmqsc is unchanged since SSL was introduced in MQ 5.3 or so.

Although the existing attribute names need to continue to be supported to allow existing scripts to work, they should have new TLS based aliases, such as TLSCIPH and TLSPEER which would fully interoperate with the legacy attribute names.

It can be more difficult than it should be to persuade security reviewers that configurations are correctly supporting only trusted ciphers when they audit the configuration and find that attributes like SSLCIPH are used to set the values in MQ.iiii

    Even though it would be possible to provide alias for input options, there would not be a good solution for deciding what to use in output. "SSL" is here to stay - not just in MQ, but other products are also introducing options with SSL in the name. For example, Spring's SSLBundles which is only a year old.
