Add easier support for Parquet/Orc to Datastage 11.7

Currently, in order to enable support for Parquet/Orc formats, customers must download 23 jar files with little to no direction on where to get them, then create 2 classpaths manually in environments.

The well-intentioned current instructions to do this are documented fairly poorly:

- The page has several errors in filenames, leading to confusion as to the actual file names to download. I had to contact IBM support to clarify two of the files.

- Anything that would be useful to copy/paste, like the CLASSPATH entries, are attached to the instructions as images.

- The same concepts are repeated several times in different wording and some very important steps are located in the notes, and not up in the instructions.
