Add copy attribute to selection for boundaries

Add a paste button to IfcRelSpaceBoundary specific attributes
(RelatingSpace, RelatedBuildingElement, ParentBoundary,
CorrespondingBoundary, PhysicalOrVirtualBoundary,
InternalOrExternalBoundary) reusing the existing
copy_attribute_to_selection core function.

The core function value type hint is broadened from Union[str, None]
to Any since boundary relation attributes pass IFC entity instances.
