Ideas for future test improvements:

* Check all references in the chain, there could be circular references.
Maybe just try to resolve them all and a hanging test will make it clear
something is wrong, or python will throw a recursion error.

* validate the referenced id is valid (which libosinfo will assert on
but we could catch it earlier here)
