[Warehouse 3.0] Updating project references

[MattReimer]

The function of the tool XML augmenter scripts that run after every tool run is going to change

One of the big changes between the old and the new version of the warehouse is that upstream datasets can be referenced.

Practically this means:

1. The scripts like vbet_rs.py no longer need to be responsible for moving metadata in from the old project. That will now happen at the API level and
2. The scripts will need to decorate the project.rs.xml files with relevant extRef="" attributes so that the datasets can be shared.

Note: This relates to (#558) but that's a separate issue

• Sample Code in NodeJS:
  • getRSXPath()

@MattReimer Is this ticket still valid?

[MattReimer]

Yes. Still valid. I saw this happening after @jtgilbert finishes with his V2 XML work on the RSContext milestone

[jtgilbert]

This will continue with BRAT, RCAT so can be moved to new milestone

[MattReimer]

This is an old one. I think we're done with this. @jtgilbert ?
