Db2 Developer Extension - Native Stored Procedure (NSP) edit in place, run and deploy from catalog listing

Currently to edit a native stored procedure, you have to make a copy of it and put it in a new file.   We would like it to work like Data Studio where you can display the stored procedure in Data Source Explorer, right click and open with routine editor to edit and deploy to alter the procedure in the catalog.   We also want to be able to run the stored procedure from the catalog list.

    This request is a combination of multiple features.

    In VS Code Developer Extension for z/OS, 2.2.4 release we have provided run and deploy from catalog navigation for native stored procedure and UDFs.
    The new version can be downloaded from -- https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=IBM.db2forzosdeveloperextension
    The link to the release documentation -- https://ibm.github.io/db2forzosdeveloperextension-about/

    The editing of NSP from catalog navigation will be considered for the future release.
