Fix updating reference passwords from KeePassXC-Browser.

Description

If an entry has a password field as a reference from another entry, updating credentials from KeePassXC-Browser overrides the reference with the new password.

This change detects the reference and updates the password to the original entry instead.

Motivation and context

This solves situations where the original entry doesn't have any URL set, but the clone(s) where the password is used as a reference does.

Fixes keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser#271.

How has this been tested?

Manually. A test case has been also modified.

Does not check if the username is also a reference. This function can likely be made generic to update any chosen field and check for references appropriately.

Does this handle recursive references?

The username is not overwritten when updating credentials. But you are correct that this might not work with recursive references.

PR is closed..?
