Refactor EntityDisplayFormBase so it won't discard regions

Currently the EntityDisplayFormBase works only with two regions: content and hidden.
The form basically puts all displayed fields into content region and the rest is put into the hidden region. This is not done based on the name of the region but only based on the fact that the field is displayed.

This makes adding new regions quite tricky since overriding the getRegions() method just won't cut it.

If the form would preserve its current functionality, but it would just save the region name(currently only content, using hidden automatically for fields that are not displayed is fine with me) in the copyFormValuesToEntity() method it would make it much easier to add custom regions and other modules, like DS for example, would not have to do so much additional processing.

    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!
