Decouple field access checks from formatters and widgets

Entity render controllers and form controllers are not responsible for checking view and edit access on the entity. Calling code needs to do that where appropriate.

So then, why should formatters and widgets be responsible for checking field access? For symmetry, shouldn't that be the caller's responsibility?

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. 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!
