Add $isSyncing as an argument to config entity hooks?

Coming from #2124535: Prevent secondary configuration creates and deletes from breaking the ConfigImporter → , though I think this was actually introduced in another issue originally.

That patch added a lot of lines like this:

+++ b/core/modules/image/image.module
@@ -387,6 +387,10 @@ function image_entity_presave(EntityInterface $entity) {
+  if ($field->isSyncing()) {
+    return;
+  }

This requires module developers to a) know about this method, b) know they're supposed to check it, c) know exactly when/why to do so. This would be a lot easier to communicate if it were an argument in the hook itself, because then we could just document it.

Thoughts?

    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!

    We have \Drupal\Core\Entity\SynchronizableInterface since 2018 which is exactly this.
