sw edit bibliography entry dialog: apply after edit

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1) double-click on a bibliography entry field -> edit bibliography entry
dialog appears

2) click on "edit" button -> define bibliography entry sub-dialog
appears

3) change e.g. the URL there -> OK -> sub-dialog closes

4) click "close" -> outer dialog closes

And now the user is confused, because the field is not updated. This
works as expected if "apply" is pressed instead of "close".

This happens because the SwAuthMarkModalDlg that hosts the
SwAuthorMarkPane can be in insert or edit mode. The inner dialog just
updates in-memory state outside the doc model. This makes sense in
insert mode, so the user can fine-tune where to insert the field; but
a separate "apply" step in edit mode makes little sense.

Fix the problem by automatically applying the changed values in edit
mode.
