doc/ref: added field attributes

Field attributes are like Go struct tags.

Attributes are needed for maintaining meta data for mapping
CUE to other languages like protobuf, Go, XML, and even JSON,
as well as preserving information when converting such languages
to CUE.

This proposal does not use back quotes for tags, like Go,
as this would be ambiguous if back quotes are used as
identifier literals.

The use of @ has a precedence in other languages, like Swift.
