Local fix

Problem summary

• Users Affected: All Java edition LWWCM users
  
  Problem Description: Hardcoded links where the WCM path is in a
  request parameter are not migrated
  

Problem conclusion

• Migration recognizes anchor tags, extracts the path and tests
  the path against the list of migrated items to determine if the
  link points to WCM data, and whether the path has been altered.
  This logic ignores all request parameters, so if a link uses the
  request parameter WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT to indicate the WCM path
  then this link is not recognized. If the path is changed by
  migration the link will be broken.
  
  A regular expression capability was introduced to migration to
  support a wider variety of link styles. When the regular
  expression matches on a link, a capturing group captures the WCM
  path that needs to be updated.
  
  The regular expression is configured in migration.properties:
  
  link.identifier.regex=(["'])(?:http://www\\.mydomain\\.com/wps/p
  ortal)?/[^"']*?[\\&\\?]WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=(?:/wps/wcm/connect)?(
  [^"']+?)(?:\\&[^"']+?)?\\1
  
  This regular expression will match links of the form:
  
  http://www.mydomain.com/wps/portal?WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=/wcm/path
  
  It will ignore other request parameters. Most scenarios will
  require only that the target domain is substituted in the
  link.identifier.regex property. If the regex is altered in any
  significant fashion, the WCM path must be captured by capturing
  group 2.
  
  If this property is not set then the extended functionality is
  not enabled, and all request parameters in links are ignored.
  
  Usage:
  
  After configuring migratio.properties, the transform-data step
  and all subsequent migration steps will need to be restarted.
