"Entity/field definitions" section of status report gives insufficient info to fix issues

Problem/Motivation

The list of errors/issues under the "Entity/field definitions" mismatch section of the status report is confusing at best (esp. for novice/non-technical site owners) and frustratingly vague at worst (esp. for power users/developers.)

These issues can stem from all sorts of issues ranging from the relatively benign (missing update hooks for non-critical things) to the significant (mismatched property schema, e.g. as was the case in #3230076: PurchasableEntityInterface should extend EntityInterface, not ContentEntityInterface β†’ ). However they're all surfaced with the same severity and with little to go on.

The checks underneath the hood on these errors check a ton of different entity and field characteristics inside of huge if() blocks, meaning there's no granular information collected at the time of evaluation as to which of these checks failed.
