if copy of complete bibtex entry that uses a crossref, then also copy the crossreferenced entry #6404

Description

@ilippert

This comes from https://discourse.jabref.org/t/seamless-crossreferencing/100/4

Describe the solution you'd like
Consider an entry A that uses a crossref to another entry B.
When I copy entry A from one library I to another library II, I want B to be also copied there IF B is not already present in database II.

Advanced request: when inserting entry B, then the normal procedure should be used, checking whether a potential equivalent entry already exists (e.g. same title, editor, but not same citekey).

Equivalently, if library II is a export bib file, it should work, too.
