link_to_record should override link to association or throw warning

[krystof-k]

Describe the bug

Given

class Avo::Resources::Example < Avo::BaseResource
  def fields
    field :type,
      as: :belongs_to,
      link_to_record: true
  end
end

still links to the Type association, not to the Example record.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add link_to_record: true to a belongs_to type
2. Try to click the link
3. You end up on the association, not the record

Expected behavior & Actual behavior

It should either override the link to association or throw a warning.

Impact

• High impact (It makes my app un-usable.)
• Medium impact (I'm annoyed, but I'll live.)
• Low impact (It's really a tiny thing that I could live with.)

Urgency

• High urgency (I can't continue development without it.)
• Medium urgency (I found a workaround, but I'd love to have it fixed.)
• Low urgency (It can wait. I just wanted you to know about it.)

Yeah, we wrote in the docs that that option is available only on the id, text, and gravatar fields.

I understand your feedback that it should raise a warning, but we don't yet have a mechanism to mark fields which universal options they support.

TBH, we'd welcome a PR to support link_to_record on belongs_to. I could see that being helpful.

Approach

We should add this here.

Sorry, I missed that. I'll try a PR to make it work.
