Improving the broker with role-based links

With our new knowledge of roles and parties, we are ready to improve our current solution.

Implementing role party links

There are two ways to create roles and links. The first is in the orchestration view, similar to how we've worked with multipart messages, the other is by using the Role Link orchestration shape. We will use the latter approach.
