Description

When the UI fetches a Controller Service or the list of Controller Services for a given Process Group, the Referencing Components that are returned contain the components' property values and property descriptors. This information is not used by the UI but can result in a very large payload being returned. We should filter out these property values and descriptors for this use case.

Because we want to maintain backward compatibility, we should introduce a uiOnly query parameter for the appropriate endpoints, in much the same way that we do for Process Groups
