GUI: EPSG code source: replace epsg.io with spatialreference.org (#4535)

As epsg.io is partially outdated (see [source](maptiler/epsg.io#171) and related) and PROJ is our engine anyway, this PR switches the references in the GUI to https://spatialreference.org.

* "See also" section: added URLs to CRS Explorer and EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset
