acd955c6c9 Modularize application extensions to EditEngine
Summary:
Ref T9132. Currently, EditEngine had some branchy-`instanceof` code like this:

```
if ($object instanceof Whatever) {
  do_magic();
}

if ($object instanceof SomethingElse) {
  do_other_magic();
}
```

...where `Whatever` and `SomethingElse` are first-party applications like ProjectsInterface and SubscribersInterface.

This kind of code is generally bad because third-parties can't add new stuff, and it suggest something is kind of hacky in its architecture. Ideally, we would eventually get rid of almost all of this.

T9789 is a similar discussion of this for the next layer down (`TransactionEditor`) and plans to get rid of branchy-instanceofs there too.

Since I'm about to add more stuff here (for Custom Fields), split it out first so I'm not digging us any deeper than I already dug us.

Broadly, this allows third-party extensions to add fields to every EditEngine UI if they want, like we do for Policies, Subscribers, Projects and Comments today (and CustomFields soon).

Test Plan:
{F1007575}

  - Observed that all fields still appear on the form and seem to work correctly.
