Overview

The Facility, FacilityListItem, and FacilityMatch admin were loading combo boxes with all possible related objects. With a database populated with 10s of thousands of records this would make admin page requests so slow that the ECS task would be terminated.

This commit fixes that by simply making the related fields read only. This works because we would not want to adjust these specific foreign key relationships anyway.

While making some fields read only we also took the opportunity to also make the JSON status fields read only and add a helper to render them in a more readable way.
