Magnolia 6 UI ports of 5 UI field transformer classes

The Magnolia 5 UI field transformer classes for fields no longer exist in the Magnolia 6 UI framework. The transformer functionality is now distributed among different components. The following is a summary of the features the components do:

• Modify the target property name, by appending a locale suffix or by prepending a composite field prefix. This is now done by concrete PropertySet  implementations (JcrItemPropertySet) and/or by the PropertyNameDecorator.
• Resolve an item data source of complex fields, a functionality usually covered by item providers.
• Manage item data sources of multi-value field entries. This is handled by the MultiFormView.EntryResolution, which resolves the children and binds each of them to the item provider strategy.
