Workspace_GetEquipmentCluster

Returns the given equipment string with its cluster prefix and caching it in the process. The function will attempt to automatically detect the cluster of the equipment in the following order:

1. In a single cluster system, the cluster may be automatically resolved and require no further custom code.
2. Get the cluster from the page cluster context.
3. Check each configured cluster to see if the passed equipment exists.

If the cluster cannot be automatically detected, the original equipment string will be returned.
