feat(plugin-form-builder): allow creating form submissions from the admin panel (#11222)

Fixes #10952.

The form builder plugin does not currently allow creating form
submissions from within the admin panel. This is because the fields of
the form submissions collection have `admin.readOnly` set, ultimately
disabling them during the create operation.

Instead of doing this, the user's permissions should dictate whether
these fields are read-only using access control. For example, based on
role:

```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
import { formBuilderPlugin } from '@payloadcms/plugin-form-builder'

export default buildConfig({
  // ...
  plugins: [
    formBuilderPlugin({
      formSubmissionOverrides: {
        access: {
          update: ({ req }) => Boolean(req.user?.roles?.includes('admin')),
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
})
```
