Remove object relation schema from step output (#16428)

Fix https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1931

On trigger database event and step record crud, we still display the
full object for relation in the variable picker (Account Owner in
screenshot).

/>

But as we do not enrich the data anymore, those fields are actually
empty. We should instead display AccountOwnerId and, if the user needs
the full Account owner, a search can be used.
