ZE Extenders cannot create config file that includes all of ZE extenders #2394

Describe the bug

Extenders that add a view to ZE cannot create a config file with all of ZE's extenders included since they lack the meta data for profile types other than their own. ZE API should expose the file creation for extenders to easily call and have the same config file created as if they did the action from one of the ZE tree views.

This is a must for v3 as v1 profile support is being removed, but isn't a breaking change for adding in v2.

To Reproduce

can see in CICS ext that only creation of v1 profiles are available and when trying to incorporate v2 config creation the extension only has the CICS meta data to send to imperative so other extenders that may not be Zowe CLI default like zFTP won't be included in the creation.

Expected behavior
