[later phase] Support props defaults that have config dependencies

Overview

Follow-up for Allow specifying default props values when opting an SDC in for XB Fixed .

That issue added support for static prop sources, but with some (unenforced) limitations:

A static prop source uses a field type. For many field types, the above won't be an issue, because the data is entirely self-contained (e.g. the string, uri etc. field types).

This issue is for adding support for static prop sources whose default value (experience_builder.component.*:defaults.props.SOME-PROP.default_value) causes it to depend on another config entity:

The text field type uses a Text Format. That is a config entity too: filter.format.*. Therefore, as soon as a text field type is used for a default value, a config dependency on the relevant filter.format.* must be declared.

Related: the link field type allows linking to node entities using entity:node/<nid> — see #3460232-5: Default props values should support files/images . But there, merely selecting the link field type (experience_builder.component.*:defaults.props.SOME-PROP.field_type) introduces a config dependency.

Look at how Drupal's existing Field UI handles this.

User interface changes

The UI (ComponentEditForm) now allows using more field types thanks to https://git.drupalcode.org/project/experience_builder/-/blob/9ccf646d71c... being broadened. At minimum, the following field types should be allowed, and explicit test coverage should be added to prove their config dependencies are handled correctly:

  • link (depends on one additional module, due to field type)
  • text (depends on additional config entities, not due to field type nor widget, but due to default value)
