New Views EntityReference filter for all entity reference fields

A new Views Entity Reference filter plugin is now available for all entity reference fields:
- content entity reference with and without bundles.
- configuration entity reference

This filters the results based on the selected entity from the autocomplete or select list.

This filter is not used by default but can be opted into using hook_views_data_alter() like this:

/**
 * Implements hook_views_data_alter().
 */
function MODULE_NAME_views_data_alter(&$data) {
  // Use entity reference for the field 'field_test_target'.
  $field_name = 'field_test_field';
  $data['node__' . $field_name][$field_name . '_target_id']['filter']['id'] = 'entity_reference';
}

Alternatively, contributed module views_core_entity_reference that will do that automatically for you.
