Improved "New Form" dialog

The idea here is to improve the landing experience in Form Builder. We should have:

• New Form
• New Library

Some fields should be optional:

• app name (unless controlled by form-builder-permissions.xml)
• form-name
• title/description

If any mandatory field is not set, we should ask the user to set them before publishing at least, and maybe during saving.

For a new form, we should show a list of form templates to start with. This could be, for now, the list of forms in Form Builder that are in the orbeon app. We could also create a new app name, if desired, such as orbeon-templates, orbeon:templates, fr:templates, or templates or something like that.

• asynchronously start a search of Form Builder forms in the orbeonapp
• show that list as cards
• show scrollable image of form
  • Form Builder should also have a "form image URL" field, which is indexed, but not showing on the Summary page
  • for now we would generate such images manually

In addition, URL parameters should still allow bypassing the dialog when safe to do so.

Tasks:

• [x] mockup UI
• [ ] implement split New Form/New Library
  • [ ] split
  • [ ] validate _/library
  • [ ] could be a new tab in the Form Settings dialog?
    • but then would need ability to switch from form to library? or not?
• [x] optional fields
  • [x] allow optional fields in dialog
  • [x] check optional and empty fields upon save/publish/test/export
• [ ] templates
  • [x] call search
  • [x] changes to Form Builder indexing fields
  • [x] create images for our forms
  • [x] load selected template
  • [x] add Blank (template.xml?) and Wizard templates (special-case?)]
  • [x] UI to pick template (including "Blank", "Wizard")
  • [x] show only when "new", not when editing Form Settings

Additional ideas:

• [ ] when picking an app name/form name, show whether
  • this already exists in Form Builder
    • could let user open that instead
  • this is already published
• [ ] same for libraries
• [ ] allow importing Global Library from resources if the library does not exist in Form Builder or published (see #5495)
  • [ ] import UI
  • [ ] ship _ library in resources

Mockups:

[ebruchez]

• [ ] consider: new form from file (.xhtml, later /zip)

[ebruchez]

• [ ] consider: new from published form, which maps to #750

[ebruchez]

• [ ] create new template for "Library" Or separate tab? Or checkbox?
• [ ] when editing, must set form name to library automatically
