Consider naming `TypedLocalObjectReference` fields `fooRef`

[jpeach]

https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#naming-conventions

The name of a field referring to another resource of kind Foo by name should be called fooName. The name of a field referring to another resource of kind Foo by ObjectReference (or subset thereof) should be called fooRef.

Following this recommendation would replace Extension with ExtensionRef, but it would also replace ForwardTo with something less wieldy (maybe TargetRef). So maybe it's better not to follow this convention in all cases.

This reminds me of "Hungarian notation". I think we should try to make it align, but use common sense.

While we consider the naming, we should also consider using custom types instead of ObjectReference and TypedLocalObjectReference, per the recommendation in kubernetes/kubernetes#87459. (Let me know if you would prefer a separate issue for the type issue.)

Let's open a PR against the developer guide section of the docs and continue the discussion there.
