Add better support for workflows that are managed by feature toggles (rather than branches)

[canny]

The current domain model in the Pact Broker supports git branch based workflows, however it does not provide good support for feature toggle based workflows. One example of this is that you can only have one pact per consumer version/provider. A team using feature toggles may wish to have different pacts (or potentially different sets of interactions within a pact) for each feature toggle, for the same consumer version.

I think we could also look to address trunk-based workflows in documentation in the meantime also.

There is no explicit support for this yet, but I have documented a workflow to use features with tags here https://docs.pact.io/pact_broker/tags/#using-tags-with-feature-toggles-instead-of-feature-branches
