Adding new widgets in EEF runtime

- EReferencesViewer: This widget bring a simplier interface to edit 0-n or 1-n references. The element selection dialog has a cleaner interface for choosing the referenced elements.
vs. 
- LinkEObjectFlatComboViewer: The LinkEObjectFlatComboViewer is an improved version of the AdvancedEObjectFlatComboViewer but instead of a simple text displaying the referenced object, it's a navigable link.
