Ok, I have an idea that might suit everyone. We keep the newly introduced
`referenceType` in the `CatalogItem` and we populate it with the fully
qualified class name or the catalog item ID (same as what this PR do
currently). For every catalog item, we still add the `InterfacesTags` **but
only** if the `referenceType` is a fully qualified class name.
Now, we modify the `CatalogTransfomer` to get all underlying interfaces if
the current item has a reference to another catalog item, and so on. Like that,
we keep the best of both worlds:
- Interfaces are stored upon catalog item addition.
- REST API returns a consolidated list of all interfaces, build at runtime.
WDYT @neykov @sjcorbett @nakomis ?
