Provide resource type relationship information
Summary
=======
Provide resource type relationship information in plug info
Problem Statement
===============
So far we have not been denormalizing data stored in elasticsearch. We retain the reference ID. In some cases, we may choose to denormalize the data dynamically across plugin-events, in other cases we may not. There is good reason to de-normalize the data (searching by image name would return instances that use that image name and would make the UI much faster [0]). In other cases, all we have is an ID and UI / CLI developers have no way to programmatically display the relationships between resources (perhaps in a topological view).
Description
=========
Searchlight should provide make resource type available for any reference IDs in the search results. This could come from facets or from plugin info.
This will allow UIs and CLIs to explore the data seamlessly.
Parent/child relationships should also be part of this work; it's a special case where a field not only refers to another resource but refers to one that searchlight implements. See also discussion on https:/
