Lina Jodoin a0edfc55fc [CHASM] Support for deferred pointer resolution (#8139) ...

## What changed?
- Previously when creating pointers within a CHASM tree, the pointed-to
component had to already exist within the tree, as the pointer was
resolved immediately. This was cumbersome in some common cases like
setting up an initial tree of CHASM components (such as setting up a
scheduler tree), where ideally, all components would be created and
linked up within the first transaction.
- A new field type, `fieldTypeDeferredPointer`, has been introduced.
This field stores the pointer value directly, and resolves the value to
the path of the component within the tree during `CloseTransaction` (or
fails if the pointer is dangling).

## How did you test it?
- [ ] built
- [ ] run locally and tested manually
- [ ] covered by existing tests
- [x] added new unit test(s)
- [ ] added new functional test(s)
