Scope for ui@5

[varl]

5.0.0 scope

• Co-locate UI libraries in repo dhis2/ui
• Introduce the @dhis2/ui top-level package and main entry-point for the UI libraries.
• Keep @dhis2/ui-core and @dhis2/ui-widgets as-is:
• • core: Ready-to-go building blocks for UI
• • widgets: Components that need translations and/or DHIS2 API
• Internal split to:
• • @dhis2/constants
• • @dhis2/icons

Upgrade path from 4.x to 5.x

• Generally all imports from either @dhis2/ui-core, @dhis2/ui-widgets, and @dhis2/ui-forms can be replaced by a single namespace: @dhis2/ui.
• There are some cases where we have rename a component to avoid name conflicts.
• Some components have been dropped, see the CHANGELOG for more information.

*Field components

One thing I've been thinking a lot about are our *Field components. In some cases they provide some value, but in the case of RadioField, SwitchField, and CheckboxField they are just wrappers for the ToggleGroupField component that takes a Checkbox, Radio, or Switch components.

I've argued in the past that all form controls should have a *Field counterpart for consistency reasons, but these form controls are rarely used as singular form controls as they make little sense outside of a group to choose between.

There is a CheckboxField and SwitchField, but there is no RadioField. I've consolidated the discrepencies in #42.

Update

I went about this the wrong way. Let us remove the abstraction levels and make it all more declarative.

Don't forget the breaking changes I've been working on:
Done:

• refactor: reorganise layers #10
• refactor(select): make selection string based #12

In progress:

• Feature/click menu #44

It's important this last one makes it in too so we don't end up introducing V6 soon 😉

Now that the Transfer is in ui@alpha, we should do #50 before releasing as it will change the option style to string-based.
