Allow handlers to modify $items before calling entity_view() [#2651982]

Hi,

As we can easily extend the entityrefence behaviour, it would also be usefull to be able to modify results before rendering.

Use case:
- We extend the schema and add an extra text field to the entity reference widget.
- Text field can be filled in freely.
- On rendering we populate the result array to overwrite the referenced entity title.

If we could just populate the results before calling the entity_view() that would be great for use, and future entityreference extension.

See attached patch for this implementation.

The 3 year old patch in #1 does not apply to the latest 7.x-1.x-dev and if still relevant needs a reroll.

Checking patch entityreference.module...

  switch ($display['type']) {
    case 'entityreference_label':
      $handler = entityreference_get_selection_handler($field, $instance, $entity_type, $entity);
