8f531ef622 (core) Reference and ReferenceList formatters
Summary:
Previously, ref/reflist columns were formatted entirely based on their visible column, since they received values from the visible or display columns rather than the actual row IDs. This creates `ReferenceFormatter` and `ReferenceListFormatter` which still delegate most of the formatting work to a visible column formatter but fix a few issues:

- ReferenceList columns now actually use the options (e.g. date format) of the visible column to format their elements. Previously they were formatted generically because the visible column formatter wasn't expecting a list.
- Invalid references aren't formatted with an `#Invalid Ref` prefix.
- When the ref column displays the Row ID, it doesn't have a visible or display column. Previously this led to the references being formatted as just numbers in most cases, with special code in the widget to display them like `Table1[2]`. Now they are consistently formatted in that style throughout.

Test Plan: Updated existing tests.

79f6f605f8 (core) Polish and enable Reference List widget
Summary:
Adds Reference List as a widget type.

Reference List is similar to Choice List: multiple references can be added
to each cell through a similar editor, and the individual references
will always reflect their current value from the referenced table.

Test Plan: Browser tests.

04e5d90f86 (core) Barely working reference lists in frontend
Summary:
This makes it possible to set the type of a column to ReferenceList, but the UI is terrible

ReferenceList.ts is a mishmash of ChoiceList and Reference that sort of works but something about the CSS is clearly broken

ReferenceListEditor is just a text editor, you have to type in a JSON array of row IDs. Ignore the value that's present when you start editing. I can maybe try mashing together ReferenceEditor and ChoiceListEditor but it doesn't seem wise.
I think @georgegevoian should take over here. Reviewing the diff as it is to check for obvious issues is probably good but I don't think it's worth trying to land/merge anything.

Test Plan: none
