Please support eachItem matcher for collection attributes

[mefellows]

Can you please confirm exactly what you need? The matchers in V3 can be found here: https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-specification/tree/version-3

What would be the c# api call to say that each item in response.attr1 should be string that matches some regex, assuming that response.attr1 is arrray of strings.

I think this one: https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-net/blob/master/src/PactNet.Abstractions/Matchers/MinMaxTypeMatcher.cs#L9

A test like this:

[Fact]
public async Task EachLikeRegexTest()
{
    this.pact
        .UponReceiving("an each like regex request")
            .WithRequest(HttpMethod.Post, "/api/orders/search")
            .WithJsonBody(new
             {
                 OrderIds = Match.MinType(Match.Regex("abc123", @"^[a-z0-9]+$"), 1)
             })
        .WillRespond()
            .WithStatus(HttpStatusCode.OK);
    // TODO: actually verify the response body

    await this.pact.VerifyAsync(async ctx =>
    {
        var client = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = ctx.MockServerUri };

        const string content = """
                               {
                                   "orderIds": ["abc123", "def456"]
                               }
                               """;

        var response = await client.PostAsync("/api/orders/search", new StringContent(content, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"));

        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
    });
}

would produce a response where each item in the string collection is checked against a regex:

      "body": {
