Provide support for VDA version 03, and incorporate into EDI standards

WTX MQ Adapter command does not allow BOQNAME definition

In the WTX MQ adapter command list, there is no BOQNAME command to define the back out queue name. And the -EQN may not have the same results as BOQNAME. This is a request to create the -BOQNAME in the WTX MQ adapter command.

Enable wildcard MSL with multiple Launchers as with single Launcher
