Add the possibility to specify field-related options to array field items

[giuscris]

This pull request introduces significant improvements to the handling of array fields in forms, both in backend PHP logic and frontend TypeScript/SCSS code. The changes enhance validation, dynamic field creation, and UI consistency for array-type form inputs, especially for associative arrays and complex item types.

Backend: Array Field Enhancements

• Added support for allowEmptyValues and improved validation logic in the array field type, ensuring empty values are handled according to configuration.
• Introduced the items method for dynamically generating fields for each array item using FieldFactory, and a return method for structured output.
• Improved dependency injection in the field definition by passing FieldFactory to the closure.
• Added a keyBy method to AbstractCollection to allow collections to be indexed by item key, supporting the new array field logic.
• Updated the formName method in Field to allow overriding the form field name via options.

Frontend: Form and Array Input Refactor

• Refactored the Form class to use a unified formInputs array and an association-based input loader, supporting dynamic and complex input types (including array fields). [1] [2]
• Added a duplicateInput method to the Form class for duplicating input nodes, supporting dynamic addition of array items.
• Refactored ArrayInput to work with fieldsets, cache item inputs, and handle associative arrays more robustly, including correct value extraction and event binding. [1] [2]

UI/UX and Styling Improvements

• Updated SCSS for .form-input-array and its children to improve layout, spacing, and support for different item types (e.g., markdown, textarea), resulting in a more consistent and flexible UI. [1] [2]
• Added a translation for a new "toggleMarkdown" editor action.
