Description
It is valid to use a logical identifier as a reference to another resource (see Logical References).
This change will recognise references of this form, and add the necessary conditions to the join to match the identifier element within target resources.
This functionality will be turned off by default for performance reasons, and will need to be enabled via configuration. The following will be added to the default configuration:
pathling:
query:
logicalReferencesEnabled: false

Research direction
Start with the FHIR Logical References specification and related issue #216, then locate the query configuration represented by pathling.query.logicalReferencesEnabled. Trace the resource join handling and its existing tests; done means logical references match target identifiers while the feature remains disabled by default.
