Switch to make Script accessible via API

This is mainly a security benefit.

At the moment you can invoke every Script via /maximo/oslc/script/<ScriptName> as long as you are authorized. After years of development in our system, we are not sure every script knows about this possibility and does the right thing if invoked via OSLC. With a few hundred scripts in our system it is very difficult to decide if a script can be invoked via API or not. If a script is written the wrong way this could lead to unforeseen consequences. In addition, especially scripts designed for crontask can work on their own without any implicit variables needed. If you have some heavy-load crontasks this could be a possible vector for a DOS-Attack.

With a simple YORN-Field in the script where you can set that a script is accessible via API and a decision in the OSLC-Servlet based on this you could solve both of these problems.
