Set entity selection widget cardinality to 1

Problem/Motivation

The current default behavior of all entity browser views opened by ckeditor5_entity_browser is to allow selection of multiple entities. I can't think of a case where we'd want to return multiple canonical links to single link instance in ckeditor 5. Indeed, if you select more than one, you get an error.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open an entity browser via the ckeditor5_entity_browser button.
  2. Note that the entity browser selection widgets are all checkboxes.
  3. Select more than one entity and submit the form.
  4. The submission will fail with the error "Please select only one item."

Proposed resolution

Set the entity browser selection widget cardinality to one by default.

With that done, if you enable the 'Use field cardinality' option for the Entity browser bulk select form in your view, the checkboxes will become radio buttons and allow only a single selection. (It's probably worth documenting this requirement somewhere.)
