FLUID-5036: The IoCSS source that is fetched from the static environment is not resolved correctly

Description

The two cases below are based on the condition of fetching the IoCSS source value from fluid.staticEnvironment.

Case 1:
If the target pinpoints to a particular option regardless of whether this particular option is existing or not, nothing would be passed down.

The test case to demonstrate this issue: @ https://github.com/cindyli/infusion/blob/FLUID-5010/src/webapp/tests/framework-tests/core/js/FluidIoCTests.js#L2804-2834

Case 2:
If the target is an existing options block, this error occurs at resolving the reference to the static environment variable: "Cannot parse context reference \"{\": Malformed context reference without }"

The test case to demonstrate this issue: @ https://github.com/cindyli/infusion/blob/FLUID-5010/src/webapp/tests/framework-tests/core/js/FluidIoCTests.js#L2836-2865

  Hi cindy - thanks for these reports! The test cases are not entirely valid, since i) the staticEnvironment is not a component, and so the "member name" for any entries there is not meaningful, and ii) only actual components can be resolved as context names - you can't just place arbitrary material in the staticEnvironment and have it resolvable as a context! In fact we will before long remove all manual access to the staticEnvironment in order to ensure that only valid material is placed there.

  Until then you will need to ensure that everything you want to resolve as a context is actually a component - I have reworked your test cases so that they demonstrate this style at https://github.com/amb26/infusion/commit/64a7eef4bf10a478afeaea2cdc345583c7354677#L1R2846 - however the misleading message from the framework "Malformed context reference" is indeed a bug and this pull request includes a fix for that issue
