Add immutable requirement links to the test case results that exist at time of execution

Any requirement linked to the test case or the test script would be automatically added to the "Requirement Links" section on the test case results, when the result is created.  When creating a test case result, QM would check if requirements are linked to the test case and/or test script and then copy those links to the requirements section on the test case result.  Currently in QM when running a manual test script which has requirements linked to individual test script steps, those requirement links are automatically copied to the test case results under the "Results Details" section.  This enhancement is essentially requesting a more formal way of viewing requirements linked to test case results via a new "Requirements Links" section on the test case result.  It should be noted that putting back-links on requirements would not be needed.

Acceptance Criteria:

  1. Given an ETM end-user has completed a test case execution When you open a test case result Then they would see a section for linked requirements that is an immutable record of the requirement at execution.
  2. Given an ETM end-user has completed a test case execution When you open a test case result history Then they would see the requirements URI value that was populated into the requirements section at time of execution.
  3. Given an ETM end-user has completed a test case execution When you make a reportable REST API call to get a feed of executionresults the linked requirement(s) would be a filtering property (e.g., /requirement/@href) against the executionresult. 

Note, having the ability to get the test case results which have a specific requirement linked to them would enable the ability to create an RPE template that could show a requirement's testing status over time (very powerful).
