Automatically run configuration comparison at the start of a deployment

To automatically run configuration comparison at the start of a deployment:

1. Add a property called, for example, Run compare before deployment to the deployment properties.
2. If the property is selected, Deploy adds a step to the beginning of the deployment plan that calls the API to trigger configuration comparison on the target environment.
3. The step fails if configuration drift is detected. This causes the deployment to fail and triggers email notifications for the deployment.
