VisualEditor: Reference group input should be a "ComboBox" suggesting possible values
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Right now the reference group input (in both MWReferenceDialog and MWReferenceListDialog) is a plain text input box (with a placeholder).

Instead, it should be a drop-down that suggests existing groups, as well as giving the ability to write in a new value, aka a ComboBox.

The default value should still have a placeholder, I think.

[Blocked on OOjs UI having a ComboBox widget.]
