zowe cics command to create a JVM server

[jt-nti]

Is your feature or enhancement request related to a problem or limitation? Please describe

This is a follow on to issue #72. Using zowe cics define bundle means I can use the CICS bundle deployment API to deploy bundles, which is great!

The next hurdle I encountered was that the Liberty web application I wanted to deploy required a Liberty JVM server with specific features configure in server.xml. I was able to create the JVM server I needed through a combination of zowe zftp upload ftu, zowe zos-ssh issue command and curl commands but that approach is somewhat error prone.

Describe your enhancement idea

A zowe cics command to create a JVM server with the desired configuration would be really nice.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I think it would also be possible to create a JVM server using a CICS bundle however I don't know if I would be able to include the required Liberty configuration using this alternative.

Provide any additional context
