Data: RecordReference & BelongsToReference value() is inconsistent

[xomaczar]

If the record does not exist in the store, we get the following:

let recordReference = this.store.getReference('book', '1');
recordReference.value() === undefined

while belongsToReference

let author = this.store.peekRecord('author', 1);
author.belongsTo('book').value() === null

The docs treat these too cases the same

Good catch! This seems like a bug since the documentation mentions it should return null:

Wanna submit a bugfix PR?

Sure - so null everywhere?

[pangratz]

Yes. Have you found other undefined values for value()?
