Extend the attribute copying functionality (feature #688) to allow creating a reference (linking to an existing attribute list) in addition to cloning attributes (copying without any linkage) - the current method. See that the EML attributeList allows references: docs.

This would be useful if: a user has multiple entities within the same data package that share exactly the same attribute structure. If they update the attributes in one entity, they may want those changes to automatically reflect in all linked entities. For example, a dataset split into multiple entities (e.g., yearly measurements) that share an identical schema. If they find a typo in one attribute name, fixing it once updates all linked entities. Especially important for data packages with 100s + files.

The UI should provide a clear option for copying as a reference, and should make it obvious when the attributeList for one entity is a reference to an attributeList from another entity. We will need to add support for parsing and serializing references in attributeLists.

Adapt autofill attrs to manage references

- Since an attributeList cannot have both attrs and refs, make sure that the references are deleted when attrs are added to the list.
- Ensure UI re-renders when references get removed
