Views entity reference displays don't take aggregation into account when adding the ID field

Problem/Motivation

When you use a Views entity reference display in a field and the View uses aggregation, that aggregation is lost when looking at the field values. The aggregation works fine in the Views preview

Steps to reproduce

  • Build a Views entity reference display showing all content
  • Add only the 'Title' field
  • Enable aggregation
  • Group the View on Title
  • Add a Content reference field to one of you content type that uses the new Views display to show values
  • Create 2 nodes with the same title
  • Check the Views preview for the new display -> only 1 of the nodes is shown
  • Check the available values for the new field -> both nodes are shown

Proposed resolution

Make EntityReference::query() grouping aware and make it deal with it
