Prevent inaccessible links from being displayed in LinkFormatter

Created on 3 September 2021, about 3 years ago

Problem/Motivation

At the moment it seems LinkFormatter doesn't prevent inaccessible links (e.g: links to unpublished nodes) from being displayed.

Steps to reproduce

- Create a link field in e.g: article nodes
- In "Manage display" use LinkFormatter or LinkSeparateFormatter
- Create an unpublished article node (U)
- Create a published article node (P) and link node U
- As anonymous, we see the link to node U which leads to a 403

Proposed resolution

Some sites may want to render those inaccessible links so I propose to add a setting (checkbox) in the formatter to run access checks.
If it is checked, and the user doesn't have access, the link won't be displayed.

MR created (PS: Nightwatch tests seem unstable, I had to re-run).

Please check #4 and #13, I feel like this issue extends beyond link formatters so leaving to needs work...
Here is a static patch from MR for composer.
