Description

This PR replace the standard group in submission with nested metdatata and UI forms.
The default group in submission will become a nested form and will be opened in a modal, to isolate the form and create connections between pairs of metadata.

Example of configuration:

<row>
                <relation-field>
                    <relationship-type>isAuthorOfPublication</relationship-type>
                    <search-configuration>person</search-configuration>
                    <repeatable>true</repeatable>
                    <label>Author</label>
                    <hint>Enter the author's name (Family name, Given names).</hint>
                    <linked-metadata-field>
                        <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema>
                        <dc-element>contributor</dc-element>
                        <dc-qualifier>author</dc-qualifier>
                        <input-type>group</input-type>
                    </linked-metadata-field>
                    <externalsources>orcid</externalsources>
                    <required></required>
                    <!-- You may choose to validate author names via a Regular Expression if it's appropriate for
                         your institution. The below regex requires a comma to be present in the author field.
                         However, this is disabled by default to support organizations as authors, etc. -->
                    <!--<regex>\w+(,)+\w+</regex>-->
                </relation-field>
            </row>

 <form name="publicationStep-dc-contributor-author">

              <required>You must enter at least the author.</required>
              <hint>Enter the names of the authors of this item in the form Lastname, Firstname [i.e. Smith, Josh or Smith, J].</hint>

A new group type called inline-group has been added to mantain the groups inside the main form and not in a modal, follows and example of config:


 <row>
              <field>
                <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema>
                <dc-element>contributor</dc-element>
                <dc-qualifier>editor</dc-qualifier>
                <label>Editor group</label>
                <input-type>inline-group</input-type>
                <repeatable>true</repeatable>
                <required />
                <hint>Add the editor of this publication</hint>
              </field>
</row>

<form name="publicationStep-dc-contributor-editor">
          <row>
            <field>
              <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema>
              <dc-element>contributor</dc-element>
              <dc-qualifier>editor</dc-qualifier>
              <label>Editor</label>
              <input-type>onebox</input-type>
              <repeatable>false</repeatable>
              <required>You must enter at least the author.</required>
              <hint>The editors of this publication.</hint>
            </field>
            <field>
              <dc-schema>oairecerif</dc-schema>
              <dc-element>editor</dc-element>
              <dc-qualifier>affiliation</dc-qualifier>
              <label>Affiliation</label>
              <input-type>onebox</input-type>
              <repeatable>false</repeatable>
              <required />
              <hint>Enter the affiliation of the editor as stated on the publication.</hint>
            </field>
