Fix Dataflow Gen1 Referenced Entities in Downstream Dataflows When Deploying

[mcolbert]

I have a two stage deployment pipeline, one workspace for UAT and one for PRD. The workspace contains two dataflows, A & B. Dataflow B uses entities from dataflow A. When I deploy these dataflows from UAT to PRD, dataflow B is still pointing at Dataflow A in UAT instead of Dataflow A in PRD.

If I enable loading of an entity from Dataflow A in Dataflow B creating a linked entity, the dataflow linkage is correctly updated and is not pointing at Dataflow A in PRD. However, if I leave it simply as a reference entity from Dataflow A, the linkage is not updated when deployed.

This seems like a bug that should be fixed.  I cannot come up with a reasonable explanation why it would work this way be design. I know there are workarounds, but this should work as expected.
