Show information message on the Edit field form that permissions are / can be configured in Field settings

Problem/Motivation

We decided to put the permission settings form into "Field settings", but once the field is created, you don't visit that page that often. Furthermore it would be helpful to be able to see on the field edit form, if permission settings were set,

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Add an information text on the edit field form (Manage Fields > Edit (on Field) which informs the user: "Entity Access by Reference Field allows to configure permissions for this entity based on this reference field. These can be configured on the "Field settings"*Link* page and apply to all instances of this field."

If permissions are active, change the text as follows:
"Dynamic permissions are active for this entity based on this reference field, using "Entity Access by Reference Field" module. These can be configured on the "Field settings"*Link* page and apply to all instances of this field."

I think the text should be in bold to be visible? Perhaps below the help text, before the "Reference type" selection?
