Add support for groups in the widget dropdown

Created on 8 July 2025, 4 days ago

Problem/Motivation

When we get a lot of widgets from different providers, e.g. AI Automator, ECA, and maybe others, the dropdown to select a widget in the "Manage Form Display" form may become overwhelming to users.

Proposed resolution

Add a new property "group" or "category" to the FieldWidgetAction attribute class. Each plugin then needs to specify a group (a translatable string) under which it will be displayed for being selected.
