/**
 * Provides a base class for form element plugins.
 *
 * Form elements are a subset of render elements, representing elements for
 * HTML forms, which can be referenced in form arrays. See the
 * @link theme_render Render API topic @endlink for an overview of render
 * arrays and render elements, and the @link form_api Form API topic @endlink
 * for an overview of forms and form arrays.
 *
 * The elements of form arrays are divided up into properties (whose keys
 * start with #) and children (whose keys do not start with #). The properties
 * provide data or settings that are used in rendering and form processing.
 * Some properties are specific to a particular type of form/render element,
 * some are available for any render element, and some are available for any
 * form input element. A list of the properties that are available for all form
 * elements follows; see \Drupal\Core\Render\Element\RenderElement for some
 * additional information, as well as a list of properties that are common to
 * all render elements (including form elements). Properties specific to a
 * particular element are documented on that element's class.
 *
 * Here is a list of properties that are used during the rendering and form
 * processing of form elements:
 * - #after_build: (array) Array of callables or function names, which are
 *   called after the element is built. Arguments: $element, $form_state.
 * - #ajax: (array) Array of elements to specify Ajax behavior. See
 *   the @link ajax Ajax API topic @endlink for more information.
 * - #array_parents: (string[], read-only) Array of names of all the element's
 *   parents (including itself) in the render array. See also #parents, #tree.
 * - #default_value: Default value for the element. See also #value.
 * - #description: (string) Help or description text for the element. In an
 *   ideal user interface, the #title should be enough to describe the element,
 *   so most elements should not have a description; if you do need one, make
 *   sure it is translated. If it is not already wrapped in a safe markup
 *   object, it will be filtered for XSS safety.
 * - #disabled: (bool) If TRUE, the element is shown but does not accept
 *   user input.
 * - #element_validate: (array) Array of callables or function names, which
 *   are called to validate the input. Arguments: $element, $form_state, $form.
 * - #field_prefix: (string) Prefix to display before the HTML input element.
 *   Should be translated, normally. If it is not already wrapped in a safe
 *   markup object, will be filtered for XSS safety.
 * - #field_suffix: (string) Suffix to display after the HTML input element.
 *   Should be translated, normally. If it is not already wrapped in a safe
 *   markup object, will be filtered for XSS safety.
 * - #input: (bool, internal) Whether or not the element accepts input.
 * - #parents: (string[], read-only) Array of names of the element's parents
 *   for purposes of getting values out of $form_state. See also
 *   #array_parents, #tree.
 * - #process: (array) Array of callables or function names, which are
 *   called during form building. Arguments: $element, $form_state, $form.
 * - #processed: (bool, internal) Set to TRUE when the element is processed.
 * - #required: (bool) Whether or not input is required on the element.
 * - #states: (array) Information about JavaScript states, such as when to
 *   hide or show the element based on input on other elements.
 *   See \Drupal\Core\Form\FormHelper::processStates() for documentation.
 * - #title: (string) Title of the form element. Should be translated.
 * - #title_display: (string) Where and how to display the #title. Possible
 *   values:
 *   - before: Label goes before the element (default for most elements).
 *   - after: Label goes after the element (default for radio elements).
 *   - invisible: Label is there but is made invisible using CSS.
 *   - attribute: Make it the title attribute (hover tooltip).
 * - #tree: (bool) TRUE if the values of this element and its children should
 *   be hierarchical in $form_state; FALSE if the values should be flat.
 *   See also #parents, #array_parents.
 * - #value_callback: (callable) Callable or function name, which is called
 *   to transform the raw user input to the element's value. Arguments:
 *   $element, $input, $form_state.
