Append views display type to element name

implemented the proposed solution -> added MR and a draft change notice

I checked the code and I'm wondering whether there is no nicer way to get the plugin type than substracting the prefix from the plugin id

    // Remove "custom_elements_" prefix from display type.
    $display_type = strpos($view->getDisplay()
       ->getPluginId(), 'custom_elements_') === 0 ?
          substr($view->getDisplay()->getPluginId(), 16) :
          $view->getDisplay()->getPluginId();

Well, this "plugin type" is not an existing concept, this is just how I called it. The plugin IDs are custom_elements_page and custom_elements_block respective. But since with custom elements for a drupal-view it's pretty clear you are using one of those, repeating the custom_elements prefix seems stupid and makes just long ugly names. That's why I'd think we better remove it.

But given that, yeah, there is no better api to do that.

I approved the PR. Should we document ce name drupal-view-{VIEW}-{DISPLAY_TYPE} somewhere?

thx, merged then!

There is a change-notice which documents the change. Not sure where we would it else?
I guess we should update the documentation about views at lupus-decopled.org!
