[Core] Add 'relationship' capability

Add a general-purpose capability for typed relationships.
Unlike composition, these do not appear in the tree, but
instead appear only in user interfaces which specifically
look for these typed relationships. WTD-1007.

* Relationship capability. Describes a domain objects relationship

* For most cases, this is not the capability to use; the
* `composition` capability describes the more general relationship
* between objects typically seen (e.g. in the tree.) This capability
* is instead intended for the more unusual case of relationships
* which are not intended to appear in the tree, but are instead
* intended only for special, limited usage.
