howdy!

I pushed a find-a-provider details page implementation to master, with some notes to flag:

  1. was more complicated than original expected/intended, because I had to solution for having at least one shared cms page, merged with content from physician directory
  2. I went with an IContentFinder coupled with a RenderController and ViewComponent, where
    1. the content finder maps url to either a provider specific detail page (with urlSegment/nodeName matching the provider id) or a fallback/common item called "provider"
    2. the controller received that mapped detail page from the finder and loads the provider IPhysician model (based on the url), providing it to the view via ViewData
    3. the view component accepts the IPhysician model and renders details, currently just the name
  3. I made both ICachingService and ISiteNodeMappingService singleton, because IContentFinder instances are always singleton, and thus using the nodeMapping service would presumably otherwise throw on the cloud instance
  4. You'll need to create a new details page called "provider" under /find-a-provider/ (the common/fallback details page), or alternatively name it something else and update the value of FindAProviderDetailsContentFinder.FallbackProviderItemName  (or add that to settings, etc).
