Convert FieldType plugin discovery to attributes

Postponed on 📌 Convert DataType plugin discovery to attributes Fixed

📌 Convert DataType plugin discovery to attributes Fixed is in so this is unblocked.

Can we update the docs for hook_field_info_alter in field.api.php here too? There are references to the annotation class but we should update to the attribute class.

#6 Done.

I was also questioning how these worked with Annotation\FieldType as they weren't defined anywhere I can see:

    public readonly array $config_dependencies = [],
    public readonly array $column_groups = [],
    public readonly array $serialized_property_names = [],

#7 I think we can remove those. They are the additional keys mentioned at the top of the attribute/annotation class. Since the attribute values get converted to an array they don't need to be defined.

Actually I think if we need to remove them then we need an alter hook to add the values in.

What I'm doing in the entity type issue is add an explicit additional key where you can put it arbitrary settings.

But some of these we probably should define if they're part of the official API.

serialized property names is part of a security issue that went in a while ago, column_groups is afaik mostly used for content _translation, not sure about config dependencies. It's used in \Drupal\Tests\field\Kernel\TestItemWithDependenciesTest, would probably need to check the issue that added this to see what the real use cases are.

@Berdir #10 i had a look at 📌 Convert entity type discovery to PHP attributes Needs review and doesn't look this you are doing this anymore?

I have left the properties in for now.

Re: config_dependencies I found this in the docs for \Drupal\Core\Config\Entity\ConfigDependencyManager

 * Classes for configurable plugins are a special case. They can either declare
 * their configuration dependencies using the calculateDependencies() method
 * described in the paragraph above, or if they have only static dependencies,
 * these can be declared using the 'config_dependencies' annotation key.

Applied the MR searched for @FieldType all instances have been replaced
Verified $deriver is there (something had to check from previous attribute tickets)
Tests are all green, showing nothing broke.

Believe this is good
