Remove field-spec instances from packages/base

[richardhjtan]

The field-spec JSON files under packages/base/fields/ are moving to boxel-catalog.

Three host tests had hard-coded selectors pointing at the old base field-spec URLs. They now use inline fixtures in their test realms, making them self-contained.

There is a test to verify that the base specs exist in boxel-catalog: cardstack/boxel-catalog#557

Pull request overview

This PR removes the field-spec JSON instances from packages/base/fields/ (they’re moving to boxel-catalog) and updates host UI/tests to stop relying on the old https://cardstack.com/base/fields/* URLs by using inline fixtures and a configurable default field spec ID.

Changes:

• Removed field-spec instance JSON files from packages/base/fields/.
• Updated host runtime config to expose defaultFieldSpecId, and updated the “Create File” modal to use it for Field Definition defaults.
• Updated integration/acceptance tests to use inline field-spec fixtures in their test realms and updated selectors to use testRealmURL.

Probably you want to link this to the PR that adds them in catalog. the merge for this which does the staging deploy and the production deploy for this absolutely need to be coordinated with their addition to the catalog realm in each environment, or it will be a very chaotic transition. cardstack/boxel-catalog#557
