form_builder 7.x-1.8

Summary

This release contains two major changes:

1. It extends the API to make the use of plugins possible. There are now plugins for form types, the element types and properties.
2. Saving changed properties is now the responsibility of the form (ie. webform now stores the new values in the component and then re-renders the component instead of vice-versa). This removes one of the major headaches when adding support for new element types. See #2313951: Webform Conditional conflict?, #2463259: wrapper CSS class not saving, #2144253: Custom properties being reset when loaded for edit and perhaps many more.

All API changes should be backwards compatible. Existing integrations should work just fine. For new integrations it is recommended to use the new plugin system. The old plugin-system is deprecated and will be removed in 2.0.
