GC REST API to list in which global configurations is used a local configuration

In on gadget we use the "gc/gc.webui.findUse" request. This request give the list of global configurations that contain a given local configuration.

Example : https://elm702/gc/gc.webui.findUse?uri=https://elm702/rm/cm/baseline/2F_5JlNEC0REe62aK8rs_Kr-g returns all global configurations that use the baseline "2F_5JlNEC0REe62aK8rs_Kr-g".

This request is very funny, but "private".

The idea is to derive a "public" method with the same functionnality.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans. It appears this capability already exists.  We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    This Idea is already served through the existing GCM OSLC query capabilities. See https://[server]/gc/doc/scenario?id=QueryConfigurations for the API documentation.

    Using the example provided, LC URI of https://elm702/rm/cm/baseline/2F_5JlNEC0REe62aK8rs_Kr-g, could use the query expression:
    oslc_config:contribution{oslc_config:configuration=<https://elm702/rm/cm/baseline/2F_5JlNEC0REe62aK8rs_Kr-g>}
    to find all the GCs that use that local configuration.
    Note that all HTTP request parameters should be URL encoded, so the example request would include:
    ?oslc.where=oslc_config%3Acontribution%7Boslc_config%3Aconfiguration%3D%3Chttps%3A%2F%2Felm702%2Frm%2Fcm%2Fbaseline%2F2F_5JlNEC0REe62aK8rs_Kr-g%3E%7D%20
