In Pipelines' DataStage nodes using Parameter Sets, add an option to use a paramfile

In some scenarios, the values of the DataStage parameters in a Parameter Set must be loaded from a file at runtime. This option is possible through DataStage paramfiles.

However, when you're running DataStage jobs from Pipelines using a DataStage Job node, there's no option to assign a paramfile to that parameter set, just pre-defined Value Sets or expressions.

The only way to use a paramfile is using a Bash Script node instead, and design a script that calls "cpdcli dsjob" to use the paramfile. This way you lose the log integration between Pipelines and DataStage jobs, and you're forced to use code to make it work.

This idea is to allow users to introduce a paramfile location when assigning values to Parameter Sets in the DataStage Job nodes of Pipelines. See the attached screenshot for an example.
