[FEATURE] [Identify tool] Present referencing relations (in addition …

PR Description:

…to referenced ones), and support them on arbitrary nesting level

Fixes #48776

Previously only referenced relations where presented when exploring a feature, now referenced ones are presented as well. Do that only when the user explicit unfolds a node, to avoid potential 'explosion' of the number of features in the tree in case of a huge database where all features would be connected through relations. If through relations a feature already present in an ancestor node is detected, it is omitted from the related features.

Add setting parameters to disable showing relations

Add a contextual menu item "Identify Feature" to be able to "re-center" the result of the identification tree on a nested feature, to limit the nesting depth.
