Refactor form recovery
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This commit refactors the form recovery feature to fix a problem with
phx-target='selector' not working. It also stores form elements until
all child views have been mounted, which allows form recovery to work
in nested LiveViews.

Fixes #2281.
Fixes #3200.
