Allow the 'entity' property of entity reference fields to be aware of its position in the typed data tree

The fix looks really trivial and it's just exposing the information via existing APIs, so I can't really see a downside here.

Thanks @catch, removing Needs architectural review tag as this seems to have gotten a thumbs up to pursue.

Moving to NW for test failures though.
