func_documentation_string: Converts a value to an array if it's not already an array; returns:
  
  - An empty array if given value is `undefined` or `null`
  - Itself if given value is already an array
  - An array copy if given value is {@link Ext#isIterable iterable} (arguments, NodeList and alike)
  - An array with one item which is the given value, otherwise
  
  @param {Object} value The value to convert to an array if it's not already is an array
  @param {Boolean} newReference (Optional) True to clone the given array and return a new reference if necessary,
  defaults to false
  @return {Array} array
