The /info webpage now includes a section called "References" which
shows all other check-ins or tickets or wiki that make reference to
the check-in being displayed by the /info page.  In other words, if
you have two check-ins "a1234" and 'b9876" and "b9876" references the
"a1234" check-in by including the text "[a1234]" in its comment, then
the info page for a1234 will have b9876 in its "References" section.
This is implemented using a query against the BACKLINK table.

Example: https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/09bcc322f7bcf52f

See the https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/test-backlinks page for a
list of all check-ins that will contain a References section on their
/info page.

Question 1:  "References" seems like the wrong section label.  But I
cannot come up with anything better.  I also tried "Referenced By",
but that seems even worse.  Suggestions?

Question 2:  Should these backlinks also be shown directly on the
timeline in addition to being shown on the /info screen?  Or would
that clutter the timeline too much?

Question 3:  Should we add a new "References" entry for any check-in
that cherry-picks the check-in being shown on the /info page?  Or
perhaps cherry-picks should be shown in the "Context" section?
