Perfect match only option when reconciling using details from other columns #150

Refine should have capability for itself and extensions to add additional 
checkboxes called "Force", "Force Match" or "Perfect Match" next to Include? 
for each additional column that is included during reconcile.  This would help 
to force a perfect match and throw out irrelevant candidates that should not 
even be shown to the user because he/she choose to perform perfect matches 
against those additional columns.

Example: Reconciling a City column and using an additional State column against 
the Freebase /location/location/containsby.  Checking an individual Force box 
next to the included State column would throw out returned candidates that do 
not match the extra property or properties.  Reconciling a City column that 
contains the cell "Miami" and has a corresponding cell of "Florida" in the 
State column for the row or record would throw out Miami(99) in Arizona as a 
candidate, even if the recon service returned "Miami" in Arizona with a score 
of (99) and help to automatch against the Miami(102) in Florida.
