Use SubFormState in plugin selectors

Created on 9 January 2016, almost 9 years ago

#2537732: PluginFormInterface must have access to the complete $form_state (introduce SubFormState for embedded forms) → introduces subform states, to make sure that parent and embedded forms can work together without knowing anything about each other. Many plugins assume they can access the top levels of the form states they receive, for instance to retrieve submitted values from. If the parent form passes on its own form state to plugin forms, this fails, unless the plugin forms are embedded at the top level of the parent form, which generally is a bad idea due to conflicts with other elements.

To solve this, plugin selectors must create subform states and pass those on to plugin forms instead of parent form states.
