HDFFV-11014, fix the h5repack issue that misses a few attributes during the repacking. The flag that checks the object reference attribute is not updated properly. The fix is trivial. Just need to move the flag update line into the inner loop. Tested at Jelly. Also update the release.txt.

------
+ - h5repack was fixed to repack the reference attributes properly.
+ The code line that checks if the update of reference inside a compound
+ datatype is misplaced outside the code block loop that carries out the
+ check. In consequence, the next attribute that is not the reference
+ type was repacked again as the reference type and caused the failure of
+ repacking. The fix is to move the corresponding code line to the correct
+ code block.
