db2pd -inst attemps to collect PureScale information in a non-PureScale environment

db2pd -inst attempts to collect - quiesceinfo and - iperiodic even though they are not appropriate options for the non-PureScale environment. It seems like db2pd should be smart enough to collect the information appropriate for the operating envir...

db2val should allow to receive credencial as parameters

Add db2move option to read/write compressed files

db2look should offer an option to sort the generated objects

When generating db2look in different server, databases, configuration, the order is not the same (probably because the creation order was different) and it is difficult to compare objects in different databases.
