Jacob Fletcher ac1e3cf69e feat(ui): form state queues (#11579)
Implements a form state task queue. This will prevent onChange handlers
within the form component from processing unnecessarily often, sometimes
long after the user has stopped making changes. This leads to a
potentially huge number of network requests if those changes were made
slower than the debounce rate. This is especially noticeable on slow
networks.

Does so through a new `useQueue` hook. This hook maintains a stack of
events that need processing but only processes the final event to
arrive. Every time a new event is pushed to the stack, the currently
running process is aborted (if any), and that event becomes the next in
the queue. This results in a shocking reduction in the time it takes
between final change to form state and the final network response, from
~1.5 minutes to ~3 seconds (depending on the scenario, see below).

This likely fixes a number of existing open issues. I will link those
issues here once they are identified and verifiably fixed.

Before:

I'm typing slowly here to ensure my changes aren't debounce by the form.
There are a total of 60 characters typed, triggering 58 network requests
and taking around 1.5 minutes to complete after the final change was
made.

After:

Here there are a total of 69 characters typed, triggering 11 network
requests and taking only about 3 seconds to complete after the final
change was made.
