 * Defines an 'entity_reference' data type.

 *
 * The plain value of this reference is the entity object, i.e. an instance of
 * \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface. For setting the value the entity object
 * or the entity ID may be passed.
 *
 * Note that the definition of the referenced entity's type is required, whereas
 * defining referenceable entity bundle(s) is optional. A reference defining the
 * type and bundle of the referenced entity can be created as following:
 * @code
 * $definition = \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityDefinition::create($entity_type)
 *   ->addConstraint('Bundle', $bundle);
 * \Drupal\Core\TypedData\DataReferenceDefinition::create('entity')
 *   ->setTargetDefinition($definition);
 * @endcode
 *
 * @DataType(
 *   id = "entity_reference",
 *   label = @Translation("Entity reference"),
 *   definition_class = "\Drupal\Core\TypedData\DataReferenceDefinition"
 * )
