Unified reference detection

[Beanow]

As a status update, responding to:

@s_ben

Or are we ready to beta test the Initiatives plugin @Beanow?

There’s still a fair amount of technical work to do I’m afraid.

Initiatives depends on reference detection: Unified reference detection

And reference detection depends on a refactor of loading:

• Static or dynamic loading refactor · Issue #1506 · sourcecred/sourcecred · GitHub
• Reduce load complexity · Issue #1559 · sourcecred/sourcecred · GitHub

I’ve submitted a wave of changes (14 PRs, took me ~3 weeks so far) for said loading refactor this weekend. I’m expecting there will be some iterations of that required.
