> Proof of concept for Model–view–viewmodel (MVVM) in form widgets.
> Added data-bind attribute to the field, form and grid tag.
> *Example 1:*
> Go to [https://localhost:8443/humanres/control/NewEmployee] and try the following field:
>  # First name
>  # Middle name
>  # Last name
> Added Full Name field to demonstrate computed observable/property.
> *Example 2:*
> Page at [https://localhost:8443/ordermgr/control/ListQuoteItemsDemo?quoteId=CQ0001] duplicated the functionality of Quote Items page, but done using data-binding way. 
> mbrohl: here is a link to the discussion on the dev mailing list: [https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r1cddbc8041e5a6559bfad979bc8570581a3d1f662a0f8692c7ee9e59%40%3Cdev.ofbiz.apache.org%3E]
> *15th March 2020* 
>  Updated the patch with more concrete examples for form and grid.
> *10th April 2020*
> Updated the patch with initVmFunc and some refactoring.
> *3rd May 2020*
> Updated the patch with a single demo that uses form and grid together.
>  # The demo can be accessed from [https://localhost:8443/ordermgr/control/EditQuoteAndItems].
>  # Added a view='knockout' attribute so that form renderer will render the form / grid for use by knockout framework.
>  # Added autocomplete templates
>  
> *Details*
> 1) -A javascript model function will be generated for the form / grid widgets when its data-bind attribute is defined.- 
>  As of 3rd April, all datamodel are not autogenerated.
> 2) First row of the grid is generated by the ofbiz form renderer at the server side. Subsequent rows will be generated by knockout at the browser side.
> -3) Naming convention of the viewmodel function is <Name of Form or Grid>*VmFunc*. There is a viewmodel for the Grid widget at row level; naming convention is <Name of Grid>*VmRowFunc*.-
> 4) Viewmodel function can be extended using javascript prototype. See the *.js.ftl files in the patch. 
> 5) The following javascript files are used:
>  * big/big.js - for basic mathematics operation
>  * knockout/knockout-3.5.1.js - knockout library
>  * knockout/knockout-config.js - extending the library and some code to configure knockout-secure-binding
>  * knockout/knockout-secure-binding - allow knockout js to be used with a Content Security Policy that disables eval and new Function.
>  * knockout-jqAutocomplete.js -  for autocomplete
> 6)  Example of hyperlink:
> Before:
> {code:xml}
> <field name="quoteItemSeqId" title="${uiLabelMap.OrderOrderQuoteItemSeqId}" widget-style="buttontext" use-when="${groovy: 'N'.equals(isPromo)}">
>             <hyperlink description="${quoteItemSeqId}" target="EditQuoteItem" also-hidden="false">
>                 <parameter param-name="quoteId"/>
>                 <parameter param-name="quoteItemSeqId"/>
>             </hyperlink>
>         </field>
> {code}
> After:
> {code:xml}
>  <field name="quoteItemSeqId" title="${uiLabelMap.OrderOrderQuoteItemSeqId}"
>                data-bind="text:quoteItemSeqId, attr: { href: editQuoteItemLink, title: 'Quote Item Seq ID'}"
>                widget-style="buttontext">
>             <hyperlink description="[placeholder]"/>
>         </field>
> {code}
> {code:javascript}
> QuoteItem.prototype = {
>     computed: {
>         "editQuoteItemLink": function(){
>             return "<@o...@ofbizUrl>&quoteItemSeqId=" + this.quoteItemSeqId() + "&quoteId=" + this.quoteId();
>         },
>    ...
> };
> {code}
> From the value of data-bind attribute, we can see that the href attribute points to the editQuoteItemLink function.
> editQuoteItemLink is a prototype member of QuoteItems which is viewmodel function for the Grid widget at row level.
> 7) Example of decimal places:
> {code:javascript}
> extend: {
>         "quoteUnitPrice": {numeric: 2}
> }
> {code}
> The column or field for qouteUnitPrice will be rounded to 2 decimal places.
> 8) Example of calculating line totals:
> {code:xml}
>  <field name="lineTotal" title="Line Total (Demo)" ><display/></field>
> {code}
> {code:javascript}
> QuoteItems.prototype = {
>     computed: {
>             ...
> "lineTotal": function() {
>             var itemPrice = this.quoteUnitPrice();
>             var selectedAmount = this.selectedAmount() || 1;
>             var quantity = this.quantity() || 0;
>             return new Big(itemPrice).times(selectedAmount).times(quantity).toFixed(2);
>         }
>         ...
> };
> {code}
