Allow content references to be relative to the workbook

[mcoles]

Right now if you want to add a content reference to a dashboard or viz in the workbook that the Trigger View lives in, you've got to add the full path:

'VIZ_IMAGE(myworkbook/myview)'

But you don't always know that your workbook will be named that, since you haven't published it yet (maybe there's already a "myworkbook" on Tableau Server and yours ends up being "myworkbook_0" in the repository URL).

How about, if there's no "/" in the reference path, we just assume that you mean "the workbook I'm currently in"? So to reference "myview" from your local workbook would be as simple as:

'VIZ_IMAGE(myview)'

So long as "myview" was a valid viz in the workbook the trigger view lives in, it'd know what to do automatically.
