Ability to enable entity reference purger settings to every reference field that exists

Maybe this could be generalized to also include field types that extend the default "entity_reference", for example it would be nice to work for "dynamic_entity_reference" as well (see Dynamic Entity Reference → module).

In issue ✨ Add support for field types that extend default entity_reference Needs review , I already provided a new patch that enables this module's functionality for such field types by not checking against "entity_reference" but its or its parent's class.

I think a better way to do this would be to add a global settings form in which you can choose to enable globally or on a per-field basis. Only when you enable on a per-field basis, the option will show in field forms. This makes it so you don't have to think about enabling this for every future entity reference field you create.
