[migrate_upgrade compatibility] d7_field_instance upgrade fails due to redundant 'field_' prefix removal on bundle

Problem/Motivation

When trying to migrate a D7 site with field_collections to D8, sometimes field instances fail to migrate because the process pipelines remap the bundle names incorrectly. For instance, a D7 field_collection named 'field_my_field_collection' should map to the paragraphs bundle 'my_field_collection', but when processing certain field instance rows, it may become 'ld_collection' instead (removing 12 characters instead of only 6), and yield an error like 'Missing bundle entity, entity type paragraphs_type, entity id ld_collection' (or a couple other variations).

Steps to reproduce

I'm not sure how to reproduce this, other than a specific site, but other users have had similar reports. It may be that a combination of field_collection, field_group, and possibly sharing field instances of the same base field (of type field collection) trigger the issue.

See https://www.drupal.org/project/paragraphs/issues/2897021#comment-12491141 → for instance, although significant progress has been made since then.

Proposed resolution

Currently, the MigrationPluginsAlterer class iterates over process pipelines and adds a substr plugin. I could not fully comprehend this with my level of comfort on both paragraphs and the whole migration framework, so there is almost certainly a deeper issue that my proposed solution won't address.

I made a slight variation of the substr plugin, which checks that the string actually begins with 'field_' before returning it, and returns the input as-is if it doesn't start with the proper prefix.

This clearly isn't a perfect solution, as it could still have failure cases if someone had named their field collection 'field_field_something', but did fix the issue for my site.

    hi,
    I'm migrating d7 to d9 and i have to migrate field collections to paragraphs and in field collections i have fields which has field type 'entity reference' and that reference's to field collection and view of field collection

    drush mim upgrade_d7_field_collection_type
    This creates the Paragraph Types from Field Collection

    drush mim upgrade_d7_field_collection_field_name
    This creates field instance ONLY

    drush mim upgrade_d7_node_type
    "Imports node types, This creates the Content Types - CCK structure"

    and when i try to import field of cck using this
    drush mim upgrade_d7_field

    33/107 [========>-------------------] 30% [error] The "field_collection_item" entity type does not exist. (/opt/httpd/htdocs/sites/vecplerpd9/master/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityTypeManager.php:139)
    [error] The "field_collection_item" entity type does not exist.
    [notice] Processed 107 items (101 created, 0 updated, 6 failed, 0 ignored) - done with 'upgrade_d7_field'

    cck fields are not getting migrated because of field collections

    Looks like it works for several people but others still have issues. Committed this, if you still have issues then open a new issue (see also comment #23).

    I am still facing the issue with redundant "field_" prefix while migrating.

    We have a field collection named as "field_field_rep_products_price". While migrating its breaks on "upgrade_d7_field_instance". its searching an entity id "rep_products_price" which is NOT correct but in D10, its actually created a paragraph_type with correct name "paragraphs.paragraphs_type.field_rep_products_price". As a results migration breaks.

    [error]  Missing bundle entity, entity type paragraphs_type, entity id rep_products_price. web\core\lib\Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityType.php:916
