Add view models to all forms and controls
What needs to be cleaned up? We need to add view models to all of our forms and controls in the UI. And get rid of any properties on the existing model that needed to be moved to the view model, unless the backend also needs them.
How will this benefit us?
Separating UI-related model code from backend data storage related model code will make the game more maintainable. We already have duplicate properties on objects for the "real" property and the "reference" property. Might as well split those into a view model and a data model; that's a perfect way to break them up without breaking serialization.
What potential drawbacks are there to making this change?
Time wasted, duplicate code
** Notes ** This is part of #287.
Oh, wait a second, what if we need the real property from inside the model too, for accessing related data? Do we need a data model, a model, and a view model?

yes we do, see #312
