Description: Checks whether any '$ref' property points to different models from the previous specification. note: if the model is flagged with 'x-ms-client-name', the 'x-ms-client-name' will override the reference name.
Cause: This is considered a breaking change.
Example: Schema of response 200 points to NewParameters in the new specification.
