Added catalogFilter field to OwnerPicker and EntityPicker components to support filtering options by any field(s) of an entity.

The allowedKinds field has been deprecated. Use catalogFilter instead. This field allows users to specify a filter on the shape of EntityFilterQuery, which can be passed into the CatalogClient. See examples below:

• Get all entities of kind Group

  owner:
    title: Owner
    type: string
    description: Owner of the component
    ui:field: OwnerPicker
    ui:options:
      catalogFilter:
        - kind: Group
  

• Get entities of kind Group and spec.type team

  owner:
    title: Owner
    type: string
    description: Owner of the component
    ui:field: OwnerPicker
    ui:options:
      catalogFilter:
        - kind: Group
          spec.type: team
