ATTESTATION.items can only refer to EHR content

Description

ATTESTATION is a defined in the common package, in theory it could be used also by PARTY (demographic package), yet the specification is assuming (explicitly) that the 'items' attribute will target EHR content.

See items attribute in https://specifications.openehr.org/releases/RM/latest/common.html#_attestation_class.

To fix this, we will have to change items type to List<DV_URI> or similar, so that non-EHR (including demographic) objects can be referred. This change keeps backwards compatibility and is low impact.

Iā€™m a bit sceptical that ATTESTATION would ever be needed for changes to demographic data, unless we regard such changes as part of a clinical note - is that the idea?
