Provide a generic Read more field

Instead of relying on the length of a body field for wether to show a read-more link or not, lets provide a more generic option:

Why don't we make an extra field from this and let actually people configure this on Field UI. The check now only works for text_summaries. That's making the assumption teasers only contain text and the full node as well. What if there's an image on there, but not on the teaser, then image_formatter_view should be patched as well .. basically any formatter in core .. and then every contrib out there should do this as well. This is a thing of the past imo.

This issue is a spin-off from #823380: Read More link is always visible on teaser. →

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
