Enhance the Gateway Java API to include the ability to get and use a database connection in user exits

Publish a supported Java API that a customer implemented Gateway User Exits can get a database connection from. The database connection should be based upon the same database credentials as what the Gateway uses. The database connection should be resilient, efficient and separate from the Gateway Server's core processes.
