1. Simplified workflow run form. …

   Builds on refactoring the workflow run form landing and orchestration into Vue (galaxyproject#9147).
   
   Implements galaxyproject#9111 - part of https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/projects/15 and outlined in http://bit.ly/simplified-workflow-ui.
   
   What is in the PR:
   
   - Add new Galaxy configuration option - ``simplified_workflow_run_ui`` set to ``off`` by default.
   - If instead the admin has set this parameter to ``prefer``, on the workflow run page scan the workflow run request and if three conditions are met show a simplfied tool form. These conditions are:
     - No workflow "resource parameters" - pretty niche, not documented, I don't think anyone outside of Canada is using them and even them I'm not sure if they ever got to production.
     - No "open" tools (i.e. tools with disconnected runtime inputs).
     - No "replacement parameters" defined outside PJAs. I'm calling #{} inside PJA and ${} inside tool steps both "replacement parameters" because the user populates them the same way in the GUI. The API only handles them inside the context of the PJA - it seems the GUI is responsible for replacing them at runtime in the traditional form.
   - The simplified workflow form:
      - Drops tool and subworkflow steps from rendering all together and instead just renders the inputs. These are not rendered as separate "steps" or forms - but as just different inputs the same clean, simple form (more the like tool GUI). Labels (or step indexes as a fallback) are used at the input name, step annotations are used as the input help text.
      - Simplify the workflow request made by the client - send only replacement parameters and inputs - do not serialize tool state for each module. I think this makes what we are tracking more structured and should be more performant as well. Prevents storing HDA IDs in unstructured JSON blobs in the database as well.
      - Drops history target option to simplify the UI - simplified_workflow_run_ui_target_history can be set to either 'current' or 'new' to adjust this parameter Galaxy-wide for the simplified form.
      - Drops job caching option to simplify the UI - simplified_workflow_run_ui_cache can be set to 'off' or 'on' to change this parameter Galaxy-wide for the simplified form.
      - Drops resource parameters - we've already verified there are none for simplified workflows.
