Return RC from active QMgr in Multi-Instance environment

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When attempting to connect to a multi-instance queue manager, if the client fails to connect to the first host it attempts to connect to the second host and returns a Reason Code based on the second attempt (i.e. RC=0 if successful, RC=2538 for Host Not Available).

If the queue manager is actually running on the first host, and the connection fails for some reason (i.e. RC=2035 Not Authorized, RC=2025 Max Conns Reached, etc..) the client tries the second host and returns RC=2538 because that host is running the standby instance.

The problems with this is that the client is led to believe that MQ is unavailable, not that they have a specific problem with their connection. Often the real reason code is not discovered until we do a client trace where we can see the reason code from the first connection attempt.

The change I would like is for the MQ client code to always favor returning a reason code that came from a running queue manager (i.e. RC=2035) over the reason code from the attempt to connect to the standby queue manager.

    This requirement is understood and recognised. MQRC_HOST_NOT_AVAILABLE and MQRC_STANDBY_Q_MGR return codes should be superseded by any other non-zero failure return codes. This will be considered under for inclusion in a future MQ CD release.
