Visual editor for constraints and formulas #1112

NOTE: Some of the original issue has been moved to #2281.

The idea is to create a visual editor to make Form Builder more user friendly to less technical users and advanced users alike, lifting the need to learn XPath to handle most scenarios.

The editor is supported by native XForms features, including validation functions and a validation mechanism covered in #2281 following #2242.

The editor must support conjunctions and disjunctions of validations.

As far back as 2010 we had some ideas to take inspiration from iTunes of all things. See the following screenshots for an idea.
