Add single field display that shows all instances of the field

Problem/Motivation

As an architect / UXer I want to be able to see all instances of a field (both the form and the render) in one place so that I can survey all the uses for consistency.

When visiting the page for the field
example /admin/structure/ENTITYTYPE/fields/FIELDNAME

we display all instances of the form field on the left, and all instances of the rendered field on the right.

concerns:

  • Field names are not unique across entity types
    example: field_boo on a node might be a text field while field_boo on media might be an entity reference.
  • Rendering may not show specialized css that only works within the context of the actual page view
  • What to use for default content on the render.

Aspects related to rendering the field may be too problematic and too misleading due to the lack of css context, that it might not be worth surfacing.
