Support allow_free_text in extended metadata controlled vocab attributes

[Copilot]

Extended metadata type attributes needed to accept both controlled vocabulary suggestions and free text via an allow_free_text flag in the EMT JSON schema.

• Schema: Added allow_free_text to EMT attribute schema (both basic and CV/linked variants) so JSON uploads can declare free-text allowance.
• Import: Persisted allow_free_text into allow_cv_free_text when creating extended metadata attributes from JSON.
• Serialization: Exposed allow_free_text in the extended metadata type serializer for API consumers.
• Tests/fixtures: Updated CV EMT fixture and extractor test to cover allow_free_text behavior.

Example:

{
  "attributes": [
    {
      "title": "Topics",
      "type": "Controlled Vocabulary",
      "ID": "CV_TOPICS_ID",
      "allow_free_text": true
    }
  ]
}

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• esm.ubuntu.com

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
