Feature: Data type create options

[madsrasmussen]

This PR registers the Data Type creation options as extensions. This way, we can use the generic create option modal and deprecate the custom implementation. It also gives us the ability to easily add create options to the folder collection.

Tested out, all working as expected! 😀

Just noticed the UmbDeprecation helper, (must have been added during my vacation). 😎

A general thought about the Collection Create Actions... they open a popover will the options, but no descriptions. I wondering if the Create button itself should follow the same interaction as from the menu, e.g. open the side modal? for a consistent experience.🤔

I had a brief chat with @nielslyngsoe about this some time ago, and I think we came to a solution where we want to make the create button dropdown bigger so we can also include the descriptions in that one.

I also personally like that the create options are right next to the button.

Yeah, that sounds about right 😄 This way our deprecation warnings aren't only visible in the TS/JS docs. Hopefully, this will make it clear if some deprecated code is being executed. Let me know what you think about this approach.

Yes, that is right. Its the classic design decision, consistency or not. And in this case I think the perfect middle ground would be to grab the content of the modal, and show it in this create-popout. So you see the same, and still do not need to move your mouse far.

So ideally the dropdown/popout has this content:

But looking at this there is another thing to correct — the description for the folder is way to over explaining what the folder does, People should know what the qualities of a folder is, so lets not visually overwhelm so much. It could be "Organize the Data-Types in folders"

and then to give equal visual weight the Data-Type should get a description as well. "A reusable property configuration"

I also did not know about UmbDeprecation, very nice to have... :-)
