New option to display the page title based on the current local tasks context

Previously the page title was always displaying the current page title. This was confusing to some users because this left breadcrumb as the only UI element that indicates the current context.

Now the page title block is configurable to allow displaying the page title based on the current local tasks context. In Claro it is updated to use this new pattern by default. Other themes continue to use the previous experience unless they change their configuration and/or provide an upgrade path. Also the document title is updated to include the section title.

Before

• Page title - [Current page title]
• Document title - [Current page title] | [Site title]
• For example - manage fields page for article (/admin/structure/types/manage/article/fields)


Page title - Manage fields
Document title - Manage fields | [Site title]

After

• Page title (screen reader) - [Section page title]: [Current page title]
• Page title (visible) - [Section page title]
• Document title - [Current page title] | [Section page title] | [Site title]
• For example - manage fields page for article (/admin/structure/types/manage/article/fields)


Page title - Article: Manage fields
Document title - Manage fields | Article | [Site title]

Users can change their page title configuration by going to their page title block:

Guidance for themes

For themes that display the page title above the local tasks, it is recommended to update the page title block to use the [Section page title] to be displayed.
This helps users to contextualise the local tasks using the Section title.
