Bring back the separate web-side entity cache Prior to changeset 635cfac73d28 "[repoapi] fold ClientConnection into Connection", we had two entity caches: one on the client/dbapi/web side, and one on the server/repo side. This is a waste, but it is actually needed as long as we have the magic _cw attribute on entities which must sometimes be a request and sometimes a cnx. Removing the duplication caused weird problems with entity._cw alternating between both types of objects, which is unexpected by both the repo and the web sides. We add an entity cache on ConnectionCubicWebRequestBase, separate from the Connection's, and bring back the _cw_update_attr_cache/dont-cache-attrs mechanism, to let the server/edition code let caches know which attributes have been modified Entity.as_rset can be cached again, as ResultSet no longer modifies the entity when fetching it from a cache. Contrary to the pre-3.21 code, _cw_update_attr_cache now handles web requests and connections in the same way (otherwise the cache ends up with wrong values if a hook modifies attributes), but dont-cache-attrs is never set for (inlined) relations. Closes #6863543

"""This module provide highlevel helpers to avoid uicfg boilerplate
for most common tasks such as fields ordering, widget customization, etc.


Here are a few helpers to customize *action box* rendering:

.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.append_to_addmenu
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.remove_from_addmenu


and a few other ones for *form configuration*:

.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_fields_order
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.hide_field
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.hide_fields
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_field_kwargs
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_field
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.edit_inline
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.edit_as_attr
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_muledit_editable

The module also provides a :class:`FormConfig` base class that lets you gather
uicfg declaration in the scope of a single class, which can sometimes
be clearer to read than a bunch of sequential function calls.

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.FormConfig

    In all descriptions below, attributes list can either be a list of
    attribute names of a list of 2-tuples (relation name, role of
    the edited entity in the relation).

    **Attributes**

    :attr:`etype`
      which entity type the form config is for. This attribute is **mandatory**

    :attr:`formtype`
      the formtype the class tries toc customize (i.e. *main*, *inlined*, or *muledit*),
      default is *main*.

    :attr:`hidden`
      the list of attributes or relations to hide.

    :attr:`rels_as_attrs`
      the list of attributes to edit in the *attributes* section.

    :attr:`inlined`
      the list of attributes to edit in the *inlined* section.

    :attr:`fields_order`
      the list of attributes to edit, in the desired order. Unspecified
      fields will be displayed after specified ones, their order
      being consistent with the schema definition.

    :attr:`widgets`
      a dictionary mapping attribute names to widget instances.

    :attr:`fields`
      a dictionary mapping attribute names to field instances.

    :attr:`uicfg_afs`
      an instance of ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.AutoformSectionRelationTags``
      Default is None, meaning ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.autoform_section`` is used.

    :attr:`uicfg_aff`
      an instance of ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.AutoformFieldTags``
      Default is None, meaning ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.autoform_field`` is used.

    :attr:`uicfg_affk`
      an instance of ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.AutoformFieldKwargsTags``
      Default is None, meaning ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.autoform_field_kwargs`` is used.
