This commit fixes the issue of `objects.inv` denoting object names, whilst the `external` role only allows for role names.
As an example, take the `objects.inv` for the sphinx documentation, which contains:
```
py:function
compile : usage/domains/python.html#compile
```
A user might understandably expect that they could reference this using `` :external:py:function:`compile` ``, but actually this would previously error with:
```
WARNING: role for external cross-reference not found: py:function
```
this is because, `function` is the object type, yet `external` expects the related role name `func`.
It should not be necessary for the user to know about this distinction,
so in this commit, we add logic, to first look if the name relates to a role name (as previous, to not be back-breaking) but, if not, then also look if the name relates to an object that has a known role and, if so, use that.
