Problem/Motivation

After looking over some things that have changed in core and the contrib space, it looks like there are more options available - and fixes needed - in Panopoly Media to make the overall experience more coherent:

  1. All media fields should use an entity browser
  2. The add media dialog should not show tabs that aren't relevant, based on the media types allowed for the field
  3. The views listing should be pre-filtered based on the media types allowed for the field
  4. The Type exposed filter should not display if only one media type is allowed; if more than one is allowed, it should only show the allowed types.

See https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/modules/entity-browser/entity-browser-view... → for some ways to accomplish #3.

    The work-in-progress MR does these things:

    Provides a Media-fied version of the File and Image widgets, and hides the plain versions of them from the Add Content dialog.
    Adds more entity browser plugins to handle different field types.
    Removes the Type exposed filter on the Media Browser view so it only shows up if more than one type is allowed for the field.
    Adds a view to supersede the built-in admin Media view. The Panopoly view includes an exposed Tags filter.

    This could use some review as to approach.
