Add autocomplete to EntityFilter

[wizhippo]

Current the EntityFilter loads all options. In a large list this can be a hassle.

It would be nice to piggy back off of the AssociationField and use it's autocomplete.

Here is a working example but would need to be refactored

Not sure if there would be any drawbacks to this.

Hi!
We have right now this problem and we could really benefit from this being added to the library.. meanwhile is there any workaround that we can do so it doesn't load all our entites? it makes it really slow

Yeah, it would be great to have such a feature in EasyAdmin.

It would be awesome if entity filter supported natively autocomplete/lazyload 👍. It's currently unusable when there is a lot of data as it fails to load everything and return all the choice.
