Need the ability to monitor Db2 instances with DATA_ENCRYPT authentication security mechanism

Per the documentation, the DB2 sensor does not support DB2 instances that use DATA_ENCRYPT authentication security mechanisms.  The customer that I'm working with is getting ready to switch their database over to use DATA_ENCRYPT authentication.   In order for the customer to use Instana, we would need to support this authentication mechanism.

    @Ben Stern DATA_ENCRYPT is deprecated in the latest Db2 version according to docs: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/11.5?topic=details-authentication-methods-servers

    Since it's deprecated and nobody else requested it, we don't have plans to implement it.
