Problem/Motivation

For certain usecases, especially embeddded forms inside forms, you want to fire submit handlers similar to the way validation can be done on every element.

Proposed resolution

A typical usecase if inline entity forms. You have a form with multiple subentity forms in there. For each, you want to be able to have an easy way to just submit one of the entities inside. #element_submit allows you to do that.

On top of that, once you have more than one subform for example, you also want to be able to limit the possible elements you want to submit. Just think of a form with two embedded entity forms, each with its own submit button. On every Submit button, you want to just validate and submit their corresponding form elements. Therefore this patch introduces #limit_element_submit, similar to #limit_validation_errors.
