Resolve #406

I don't have a functional cache of relationships, which are just identifiers applied to whatever's specified by id_references.

I almost have what I need in related_record_cache, I'll just expand it to include nonresolvable relationships (which will result in a lot of NULLs, which is fine) unless someone has better ideas.

In the /guid/ UI, these data are used for the overlay (layout is off topic here, I just need to understand what's necessary from the record view)

1. Does anyone see any problems with expanding this concept to non-resolveable identifiers, and

2. While I'm changing stuff, does anything else need changed?

record might be the wrong term here, eg https://arctos.database.museum/guid/DMNS:Herp:232 the "record" will be DZTM 11873 which is a not-great identifier, an impossibly long way from a record, but I'm tempted to not change it anyway.

(And that one has potentially-useful information hidden in remarks!!!! WHY??!!? Ping @acdoll )

The current data looks like this:

And that one has potentially-useful information hidden in remarks!!!! WHY??!!?

Usually that boils down to poor training. But as that appears to have been done by our VP, I'll just assume there was some lack of clarity in the documentation that prevented this from being loaded properly.

I don't see a problem with this - in fact it should be very useful. And it should help us find problems like the herp record above.
