Contextual link group names are not predictable

Problem/Motivation

Following #2084463: Convert contextual links to a plugin system similar to local tasks/actions → , contextual links cannot be attached to path parents anymore. They are collected based on group names which come from build array keys. So to attach contextual links to existing groups, you need to know this group name. However group names are somewhat arbitrary, eg. blocks have 'block', menu have 'menu', but views have 'views_ui_edit'.

Proposed resolution

Figure out how to make the names predictable to allow for automation in extending links. At least make the config entity based links use the module name.

Remaining tasks

  • Figure out what to do.
  • Build it.
  • Get it reviewed.
  • Test.
  • Commit.

User interface changes

None.

API changes

Maybe. At least some existing group names will change.

    (Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative) is the tag used by the multilingual initiative to mark core issues (and some contributed module issues). For versions other than Drupal 8, use the i18n (Internationalization) tag on issues which involve or affect multilingual / multinational support. That is preferred over Translation.
