SearchKit - Auto-apply filters passed in from Afform markup

[colemanw]

Overview

Ensures that any scalar value passed as a filter via Afform markup will be auto-applied.

Adds unit test for a search display embedded in an Afform to lock in filter behavior.

Before

When embedding a search display in an Afform, filters passed in through the markup could be overridden.

After

If the filter contains a scalar value (not a dynamic value like a javascript variable) then it will be "force" applied by the SearchDisplay::run api and cannot be overridden.

e.g. <crm-search-display-table filters="{last_name: 'AfformTest'}" ... will have the last_name filter permanently set to the value "AfformTest".

@colemanw I tried testing this by pulling it down & enabling 'mock forms'. Unfortunately there is no path to this form so I tried to edit it from the form builder UI but I got an error (note that I have this PR and your event location search PR locally on top of master)

[colemanw]

@eileenmcnaughton I didn't do any manual testing, just relied on the existing test cover plus the new test added to lock this in.

[eileenmcnaughton]

@colemanw yeah - the error might be unrelated - but I do want to test this manually before merging

[colemanw]

I think the reason you can't test that afform manually is because it references a search display that doesn't exist in your database. The unit test creates it.

@colemanw hmm - could we create on install for that mock ext?

[colemanw]

I suppose we could, if we declared SearchKit a dependency of the AfformMock extension.

[eileenmcnaughton]

yeah we chatted about this on the PR review call - ideally we would. It might be installed conditionally rather than a dependency. But @seamuslee001 said he would test this PR

I was able to get this to work but had to do it in a round about way, I created a basic contact table search view, then created a form. Then had to edit the afform html using the afform_html extension to add in the filter of last_name of buckman and confirmed it directly applied to the search. This works for me merging
