Improve synchronization process

Reduces time spent during component synchronization, when components are transferred from z/OS into AD server. Idea is like instead of doing full sync for all datasets (PDS/MVS) in the project, making some quick pre-scan, that would indicate if any of datasets had any single change since the last scan, it would set a flag (to database table or a file on a disk or somewhere that can be accessed via API) to Yes, not for that single dataset, but for whole project. Then this quick pre-scan can be triggered to second, third and all remaining projects, where at the end we would have list of flags indicating which projects did have any single change on it and then we can set all these impacted projects for sync (/umm1). We then would not need to run all of our projects with sync (/umm1), which we do daily.
