   Done.

   • Writing a type. InputType covers name/icon/group, builder settings (stencil components) and their rules, localized settings, the stencil component, storage column, normalize/format/export/display, options and fields.
   • Registering and changing types. FormBuilder::registerInputType() or config adds or replaces a type. extendInputType() changes the component a type makes, and forgetInputType() removes one.
   • Tests. One test type reuses a stencil field. The other has its own stencil field, Blade view and React component built with @javaabu/forms' custom-field hooks (react-forms#23), and is tested in both stacks.
