Enable to set entity view mode

Problem/Motivation

It is not possible to set a view mode, when exporting data as entity, not as fields. I report it as a bug, because I am not able to delete my custom view mode, without deleting the whole view.

Steps to reproduce

Edit view display of "data export" type.
Set Format -> Show, and choose Entity.
You will not see an option to choose a particular view mode.
Save the view
When you export configuration of this view, you can see, that some existing view mode was chosen and set as relevant for exporting the data.

Proposed resolution

Add option to select and change view mode, when Format -> Show is set to Entity.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

Add option to select and change view mode, when data Format -> Show is set to Entity

API changes

Data model changes

Hmmm...I don't think it's correct that we ever allow specifying a view mode, so yeah, we should clean this up and not allow selecting one.
I wonder if you clone another display that uses an entity view mode, does VDE secretly store that and not allow you to remove it?
