Entity Reference Style Update

Originally submitted on Github

Problem/Motivation

Recent interviews and research exposed pain points around Drupal's admin experience of looking and feeling dated, especially compared to our competitors, and universally cited that choosing a more modern-looking admin theme instantly led to Drupal being better-perceived by said users.

There was an amazing community effort to Create a Style Guide For Seven that vastly improved its look + feel compared to the original, but Design best practices and Drupal functionality have moved on since then.

Proposed resolution

Implement new entity reference styles to create a favorable first impression of Drupal for evaluators and a better user experience for site authors. No functional differences.
