Created a generic DataObject FormFactory interface that can be substituted in place of getCMSFields. Different FormFactories can depend on different kinds of context, such as
'Record' or 'Controller' - it's the responsibility of the code calling the factory to interpret and
supply this context.
The expected use-case is that rather than overriding getCMSFields(), developers can
change CMS UIs by manipulating the FormFactory associated with the given DataObject.
This is an experimental UI and may change before 4.0 stable is released.

API Move component parsing logic to DataObjectSchema
API Remove support for triangular has_many / belongs_many relationships
The 'admin' module will be split off from 'framework',
where 'framework' only provides (mostly) frontend-agnostic PHP classes.
For example, HTMLEditorField.php has a TinyMCEConfig.php driver,
but doesn't come with its own JS includes.
The JavaScript i18n functionality in SilverStripe is used in the CMS as well as form field implementations.
Form fields used to include their own JavaScript for usage outside of CMS. This now requires custom build tooling in a project.
Hence there's no need for an i18n shim (i18nx.js), since the CMS always uses i18n support.
We've removed the ability to directly reference JS and CSS files
for form fields and other SilverStripe features in favour of a common bundle built by Webpack.
The logical next step is to make the framework module free of frontend dependencies,
which should simplify its operation, and avoid another time intensive "npm install" on a module.
This has been made obsolete, since those files are all included in the main bundle (see bundle-lib.js).
They should not be referenced individually (e.g. through Requirements::block() or Requirements::javascript()).
