Description
Hi
we are trying shallow merge with SPDXMerge and found that externalDocumentId should have "DocumentRef-" and "unique string"
Instead, it has only SPDX-ID
Reference
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by locating the shallow-merge handling for externalDocumentId in SPDXMerge and compare its output with the SPDX v2.3 external document references specification linked in the issue. The change is complete when the generated externalDocumentId includes the required “DocumentRef-” prefix and unique string, with relevant tests updated or added.
