[I] [Task]: Implement GuiWidgetGroupType.BOXES in GuiCompositeWidgets (hop)

["mattcasters (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

mattcasters opened a new issue, #8117:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/8117

   ### What needs to happen?
   
   `GuiWidgetGroupType` already defines `BOXES` (alongside `TABS` and `LIST`), and `@GuiWidgetElement` fields can set `group` + `groupType = GuiWidgetGroupType.BOXES`. `GuiCompositeWidgets.layoutElements()` does not implement that layout yet: any non-`TABS` group type logs *"is not implemented yet; showing tabs"* and always calls `layoutTabs()`.
   
   BOXES should stack one SWT `Group` per annotated `group`, filling the space between the dialog header and the button bar, with a `ScrolledComposite` inside each box (same fill-and-scroll idea as tabs, without a tab folder). That keeps OK/Cancel pinned to the bottom of a resizable dialog instead of overlapping the lower widgets.
   
   This is a small, localized change:
   
   - Add `layoutBoxes()` next to `layoutTabs()` in `ui/.../GuiCompositeWidgets.java`.
   - Branch on `GuiWidgetGroups.typeOf(...)` in `layoutElements()` instead of always falling through to tabs.
   - Reuse `addCompositeWidgets()` and `registerExtraGroup()` extras per group.
   - Cover it in `GuiCompositeWidgetsGroupTest` (BOXES should produce `org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Group`, not `CTabFolder`).
   
   `DataSetOutputMeta` already annotates its dialog fields with `groupType = BOXES` and `group = "Data Set"` and can be used as a visual check once this lands. `LIST` can stay a later follow-up.
