Consider Project Area Associations for linking between Project Areas

Consider Project Area Associations for Traceability:

Currently, traces from an Item in an config management enabled RM project area to config management enabled project areas in other applications, e.g. QM, are only possible if the RM and the QM project area are associated to each other.
For config management enabled RM project areas this is not the case, though. Even if 2 config management enabled project areas are not associated to each other, traces can be created between these project areas (if the corresponding components are part of the same global configuration).
Request: Do not allow traceability between requirements if the the corresponding project areas are not associated to each other.

Reasons:
a. Consolidate the behaviour of traceability restrictions.
b. Allow additional trace restrictions.

Use Case: We have different RM project areas for different architectural levels. We would like to restrict the traces of requirements in a specific level to only the two adjacent levels, e.g. we would like to restrict Traces from the Level 2 requirements to only requirements of Level 1 and 3.
