Use Context system for actions

Created on 3 June 2013, over 11 years ago

Updated 25 June 2023, over 1 year ago

Having a single parameter for actions is not sufficient, nor is it possible to add further metadata to the single parameter (e.g. to define whether it is required)
We need to support actions without an entity paramter.
Actions should follow the same API as conditions if there are no reasons to do it different.
The action subsystem is coupled to entities.
Finally, this is required if the action system should be useful to Rules as well.

Make the action sub-system using context, such as conditions.

Patch review.

API changes in this issue are approved by the comments on ActionInterface.php.

The 'type' parameter of action annotations is replaced by a proper context definition.
The execute() method on ActionConfigEntityInterface is removed.
The executeMultiple() method signature on ActionInterface is changed to additionally take a context name argument as first parameter.

See #1846172: Replace the actions API → , it currently passes entities around directly, and uses hardcoded type = node

Oops, you are right. I was on 'automatic'. Feel free to change the status on any others I did incorrectly. I think I'll take a break and then come back to this task.
