Add 'title' to field config to use as default for widget config

Problem/Motivation

JSON:API entities do not have a fixed attribute that can be considered the title of that entity. For example, the JSON:API entity representing a Drupal node will use 'title', but a JSON:API entity representing a Drupal taxonomy term will use 'name'.

So that the autocomplete widget can know against which attribute it should pattern match following user input, it has configuration to identify which JSON:API attribute should be used.

We are now looking at adding more types of form widgets: #3315187: Add select list widget → #3314975: Add radio buttons widget →

Changing between form widgets for an existing field means that this 'title' attribute setting needs specifying each time.

This issue proposes adding a title attribute to the field which can then be automatically inherited as the default autocomplete attribute in the autocomplete widget, but can be pverridden on a per field basis.
