Return entities matching a given query joining against a relationship.

Also accepts all options available to elgg_get_entities() and elgg_get_entities_from_metadata().

To ask for entities that do not have a particular relationship to an entity, use a custom where clause like the following:

$options['wheres'][] = "NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT 1 FROM {$db_prefix}entity_relationships
        WHERE guid_one = e.guid
        AND relationship = '$relationship'
)";
