Fixup links to future features (#1157)
This link standardizes how all the other design pages will refer to future features (either in `FutureFeatures.md` or in a tracking issue). All links to these upcoming features now use references at the bottom of the doc page (as opposed to inline links or references). Note that this change makes it very easy for the doc links to be updated when a tracking issue is started. As all the references have a standard format; a simple find/replace script will get everything. This commit also makes sure that references now point to a tracking issue if one exists. Note that this means a future CL can now delete some of the unnecessary sections from `FutureFeatures.md`. The only visible change from this commit is that certain broken links are now fixed, or links pointing to a doc section now point to the correct tracking issue.
