Change views relationship base table

Created on 19 December 2023, about 1 year ago

The implementation of usage_data_views_data() uses \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeInterface::getBaseTable to define the relationship between usage data and the entities it's tracking.

The base table - e.g. node - is far less useful than the data table - e.g. node_field_data. Making a simple switch to use \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeInterface::getDataTable unlocks all the views relationships like content fields, etc.

Though I believe this makes sense, it would not be a backwards compatible change. We'd either need to have an update to fix existing views with now broken handlers, or have a major release version here with docs. I'd lean towards the former.
