When Drupal migrates field formatter and field widget configurations into entity_view_display and entity_form_display entities, it often happens that the migrated formatter plugin (or field widget) has no replacement on the destination site.
In this cases, plugin discovery throws (and logs) a PluginNotFoundException (with an another log created by MigrateUpgradeImportBatch::onIdMapMessage), and the affected field gets hidden in its target entity_view_display (or entity_form_display) entity.

The messages above always follow each other.
Instead of logging the same message with MigrationInterface::MESSAGE_ERROR twice, we prevent PluginNotFoundExceptions by automatically selecting the default field formatter plugin ID (or widget ID). In these cases (so when the fall-back logic was needed for the right field formatter plugin ID), we add the related message to the MigrateExecutable in those migrate process plugins that are doing the fallback. These are caught in MigrateUpgradeImportBatch and logged into the logger.
This still informs the user, but does allow the migration to succeed, allows checking the rendered migrated entity, and generally results in fewer pointless messages.
We can do this for both d7_field_formatter_settings and d7_field_instance_widget_settings — the same problem can occur for both formatters & widgets.
Default formatters and widgets instead of hidden fields in entity forms and rendered entities.
Less resources are needed to restore the original structure.

A change record needs to be drafted before an issue is committed. Note: Change records used to be called change notifications.
The change is currently missing an automated test that fails when run with the original code, and succeeds when the bug has been fixed.
It is used to alert the maintainer(s) of a particular core subsystem that an issue significantly impacts their subsystem, and their signoff is needed (see the governance policy draft for more information). Also, if you use this tag, make sure the issue component is set to the correct subsystem. If an issue significantly impacts more than one subsystem, use needs framework manager review instead.
