Require the ability to prevent brokering for non participant evidences logically equivalent

Currently automatic evidence sharing is only available for evidence types configured on a person case. This is too restrictive and should be available for any evidence type regardless of where it lives. Here's the information from the PMR raised by the customer:

Problem description:
Currently, when brokering non-Participant Data Case evidence, the Evidence Broker makes no attempt to discern if the evidence being brokered is logically equivalent to evidence already present on the target case based on the values of the attributes of the evidence being brokered. This causes a cumbersome amount of evidence to be unnecessarily brokered to cases, requiring caseworkers to have to expend extraordinary amounts of time discarding these evidence items. In addition, as they become conditioned to simply discarding evidence items to cope with the volume of brokered evidence that must be handled, caseworkers are more likely to lose focus of the content of the evidence that has been brokered and unintentionally discard evidence that has brokered with genuine changes of circumstance.

The Evidence Broker has produced more than 100 evidence items, most of which will simply be discarded. And, it should be noted, the caseworker has to spend time discarding each evidence item individually. This is an unacceptable burden to caseworkers, but it does not have to be.

The Evidence Broker can be smarter about how it choses which evidence items to broker. There is already a precedent for this with Participant Data Case (PDC) evidence. When a PDC evidence item is brokered, a matcher custom to the evidence's type is utilized to determine if the evidence item already exists on the target case. If a match is found, then the evidence item is not shared. A hook point allowing for custom
matchers that can determine whether an evidence item should be allowed to broker needs to be added to the Evidence Broker to extend this capability to all evidence types.
