Describe the bug
The Schema.SObjectField getField(String, Boolean) method in fflib_SObjectDescribe does not resolve cross-object paths when those paths are Person Account specific. In the Person Account scenario, the path would be from a custom field on the Contact object to a field on the Account object. In that case, the relationship path would end with __pr and not the typical __r.
The fflib_SObjectDescribe class needs to be adjusted to handle this scenario correctly.
To Reproduce
Setup a custom field lookup from Contact to Account where Person Account feature is enabled.
Use fflib_SObjectDescribe.getField(String, Boolean) method to resolve the field path
Expected behavior
The custom field on the Contact object should be returned
Screenshots and text of error observed
The method returns null
