Turbo: Allow Ajax links and form submits to be handled by Drupal's Ajax framework

Problem/Motivation

Links and form elements that are handled by Drupal Ajax are currently broken after a Turbo navigation in that they get taken over by Turbo rather than letting Drupal's Ajax framework handle them which can result in some unexpected errors or behaviour. An example are the field UI display mode tables, which have Ajax sub-forms; Turbo attempts to submit these itself, but the response doesn't redirect so Turbo logs and error to the console and the form doesn't get updated. Another example is the Token module's token list dialog link not opening a dialog but instead navigating to the link URL via Turbo.

Steps to reproduce

Ajax behaviours are busted on admin section forms, as an example, such as field UI.

Proposed resolution

Disable Turbo handling for Ajax form elements via the data-turbo="false" attribute and disable Turbo handling of Ajax links via a document-wide turbo:click event handler.

Remaining tasks

See proposed resolution.

Also discovered that Drupal core doesn't correctly use context when attaching Ajax behaviours, so that will need to be fixed in Drupal core. See #2711821: Drupal.behaviors.AJAX.attach() doesn't use context →
