Enhanced resource references

We’ve enhanced existing resource references with additional functionality:

You can now specify Role Assignments using well-known role defintion names instead of GUIDs.
UserAssignedIdentity now supports config map.
A system-managed identity can now be specified in the app resources’ identity references.
Selected ResourceReferences now support WellKnown names.
Fixed 2 broken ResourceReferenceProperties, UserAssignedIdentityReference and KeyVaultArmReference, which were previously seen as just strings but are now recognized as proper references.
