Support for field references between entries

[kwiniarski]

Expected Behavior

Original KeePass has a feature to copy an entry with references in user/password fields. In KeePassXC those references are not recognized. When I copy user name or password from copied entry (with references) I should get referenced user name or password.

Current Behavior

Currently KeePassXC don't recognize reference tokens (ex. {REF:U@I:F7C70D1E65A8CD49BCDB549AC759D748}) and when an entry is matched to the domain, reference token is suggested/returned for both user and password.

Possible Solution

If entry is matched, then application should check if user or password matches reference token pattern. If so, it should look for refereed entry and read data from it. References are described on http://keepass.info/help/base/fieldrefs.html

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Create database with original KeePass
2. Create an entry in it
3. Create copy of the entry with references
4. Open database in KeePassXC and try to use copied entry

Context

Original KeePass has a feature to copy an entry with references in user/password fields, which is very convenient for example if you have in the company several applications which are authorized using credentials from LDAP or other central system. Generally if you change this password then you have change X entries in KeePass. With references this is still one entry to change.

This is a duplicate of #75 and it has been fixed in #370. This feature will be available in the next 2.2 version of KeePassXC
