Allow custom attributes from the User object to be defined for the SCIM integration

As part of one of the MAS 9 implementations, the customer has a requirement to integrate Sec. Groups and Users to MAS via the SCIM interface (https://developer.ibm.com/apis/catalog/maximo--maximo-application-suite-admin-apis-9-0-x/api/API--maximo--mas-scim-interface#post-1734611641). The plan is to have the identity and access management (IAM) streamlined and centrally managed via their IdP, so Sec. Groups creation and user provisioning would happen via the interface.

One of the observed behaviors is that custom attributes added to the MAXUSER object in Maximo, for example, can't be exposed to the interface, requiring additional configuration or a manual process to have them updated after the data is sent from the IdP via SCIM.

This request aims to allow the SCIM user schema to be updated and reference custom attributes in MAS that can be mapped to either existing or custom attributes in the corresponding IdPs (EntraID, etc.).
