Move entity type and ID from base path and into routing parameters

✨ Allow working with a new (unsaved) entity Active is laying the groundwork for this.

This will unblock ✨ [PP-1] Navigate to page/component that's causing a publish error within the same tab Active

✨ Allow working with a new (unsaved) entity Active is pretty much ready: #3529836-11: Enable starting with an empty XB UI (so without first having to create an entity with a component tree) → .

Also would be great to have this by the content templates work so the url for editing a content template can be independent of the entity type and entity in the route

This is needed by Content Templates which is still a priority for stable, but we're tracking it separately.

✨ Allow working with a new (unsaved) entity Active just landed. Note that the FE pieces of #3529836 still need to happen, and it might make sense to just tackle all of that here See #3529836-27: Enable starting with an empty XB UI (so without first having to create an entity with a component tree) → .

@hooroomoo already confirmed: #3529836-29: Enable starting with an empty XB UI (so without first having to create an entity with a component tree) → 🙏🎉

Next steps:

Now that Drupal is no longer aware of which entity is being edited because the Route is handled by the React SPA we need another way of getting the drupalSettings.canvas.entityTypeKeys

@bnjmnm suggested instead loading the keys for all the different entityTypes (keyed by the entity type) https://git.drupalcode.org/project/canvas/-/merge_requests/4#note_581234

Before this MR it was possible to do this

  const titleInput = entity_form_fields[`${canvasSettings.entityTypeKeys.label}[0][value]`];

With the change above we would be able to do

  const titleInput = entity_form_fields[`${canvasSettings.entityTypeKeys[entityType].label}[0][value]`];

More context

(Probably too much context, but in case it's useful)

drupalSettings.canvas.entityTypeKeys was previously based on the current entity being edited and looked something like

{
    "id": "id",
    "uuid": "uuid",
    "revision": "revision_id",
    "label": "title",
    "langcode": "langcode",
    "published": "status",
    "owner": "owner",
    "bundle": "",
    "default_langcode": "default_langcode",
    "revision_translation_affected": "revision_translation_affected"
}

We would take the value of entityTypeKeys.label (in the above example "title") and that would let us know how to get page title from the entity_form_fields which look like e.g.

    "entity_form_fields": {
        "langcode[0][value]": "en",
        "title[0][value]": "Untitled page",
        "path[0][alias]": "\/untitled-page",
        "path[0][langcode]": "en",
        "image[media_library_selection]": "",
        "description[0][value]": ""
    },
