Descriptions

From the documentation description, it seems that the DubboReference annotation is used in Spring, but it belongs to the dubbo-common package. Should we migrate it? Even if we don't change its package name.

Research direction
The task involves moving the package org.apache.dubbo.config.annotation from the dubbo common module to dubbo config spring. Identify all files in that package (e.g., DubboReference, DubboService annotations) and move them to the corresponding package in dubbo config spring. Update all imports in the codebase that reference the old location. Ensure that dubbo config spring depends on necessary modules. Verify that no cyclic dependencies are introduced. After moving, run the project tests to ensure nothing is broken. The issue mentions that the annotation is used in Spring context, so moving to dubbo config spring aligns with Spring integration.
