We think it would be useful to be able to set global configuration options on the pact proxy server.

In particular, to control the retry timing for WaitForInteraction

We would also like to add some new features which should perhaps be disabled by default, so config would be useful for this as well.

Currently pact-proxy returns a 500 response with an empty body when a pact does not match.

This causes problems debugging for two reasons:

1. Our client code will retry multiple times on a 500 error, which fills the logs with noise.

2. Our swagger client tries to unmarshall the empty body which gives a misleading error on the client side.

We would like to override the default error status code and response body. This could be configurable at a global level.

It would be useful in integration tests to be able to get more information about the interactions and requests made to the pact proxy, for example details of the actual request(s) and response(s).

This would be useful for more detailed assertions, e.g. what specific UUIDs were posted, as well as for capturing those UUIDs for use in the workflow tests.

As this may use more memory on the pact-proxy server, we could make this feature disabled by default and enable it based on some environment variable or config setting.
