Multiple exchange community targeting

A new <exchangeName> element has been added to the <NhinTargetCommunities> block to enable users to specify a particular exchange for targeting. If no exchange is specified, the default exchange will be used. Also see /wiki/spaces/CONNECTWIKI/pages/542769185.

Sample exchange community targeting

		<urn:NhinTargetCommunities>
        	<urn1:exchangeName>TestExchange</urn1:exchangeName>
            <urn1:nhinTargetCommunity>
               <urn1:homeCommunity>
                  <urn1:description>TARGET ORGANIZATION</urn1:description>
                  <urn1:homeCommunityId>TARGET HCID</urn1:homeCommunityId>
                  <urn1:name>TARGET ENDPOINT</urn1:name>
               </urn1:homeCommunity>
            </urn1:nhinTargetCommunity>
		</urn:NhinTargetCommunities>

Organizational endpoint override

A new exchange type (overrides) has been added to enable users to override existing endpoints or instantiate non-existing ones at runtime. This feature is only for NwHIN endpoints and available only in exchangeInfo.xml. The below snippet shows the overrides exchange as defined in exchangeInfo.xml. Also see /wiki/spaces/CONNECTWIKI/pages/278528020.
