[DUP81511] Change the structure of the shared SSM history folder, to allow secure use bu different execution users and groups

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Platform Symphony (Spectrum Symphony) SSMs keep the sessions history files in a shared location, for example
/gpfs/platform/soam/work/history

Before PS 7, all apps SSMs were filling history/ folder directly, causing it to store 1000s of files and making it unmanageable.
In PS 7.1 there layout was updated, so that now we have
.../history/00000/NNN/MMM folder structure, where NNN and MMM - are some numeric and numeric_ combinations without clear correspondence with the consumers/apps/groups/users related to the sessions, which histories are stored there.

Crucially, it happens that in some cases (for example when a session is aborted), that an .../NNN/MMM folder created previously by one SSM is then accessed by another SSM trying to save histories in the same folder.
Then we observe a clash of ACLs, preventing session history being written. (when two SSMs have different execution user unix groups)
