Altering the "Fields" tab is not so easy, and adding all the required configurations to the "Processor" is complex as well (especially if we want to configure embeddings using Ajax).

The best solution is probably to add a new tab for Schema management and force the user to go to that tab after field configuration. This will give us all the freedom we need.

We must ensure an index without a schema doesn't break the rest of the configuration pages.

Previous summary

The only reasonably quick way I was able to implement the special per-field settings that Typesense requires was to create a processor, and use its access to the index's fields to create a form to provide per-field settings for "facet", and "optional", and to provide a place to set the "default_sorting_field" setting.

It's obvious that it would be better to add these to the main field definition form (an index's "Fields" tab), but I wasn't able to figure out the right way of overriding that fields table's columns.

So the question is: did I miss a good way to alter the table? My experiments with form alter hooks and event subscribers were both unsatisfactory.
