Prerequisite for #19343.

Extracts form submission and its related state and methods from the Form component into a new useFormSubmission hook. No behavior change.

const {
  submit,
  submitted,
  processing,
  backgroundProcessing,
  // ...
} = useFormSubmission({
  // ...form context, props, and state setters
})

This consolidates ~500 LOC related to submission logic out of the Form component, e.g. submission scheduling, processing state, toasts, focus restoration, etc. Previously, it was extremely difficult to digest the form at a high level due to the sheer number of moving parts it has to orchestrate.

Moves submission and its state (modified, disabled, submitted,
processing, background processing, successful submit count, focus
restoration) from Form into a useFormSubmission hook. Behavior is
unchanged.

Walkthrough

Form delegates submission and related state management to a new useFormSubmission hook. The form preserves its disabled state during reinitialization. The end-to-end test checks the disabled state before and after Next.js hydration.

Changes: Form submission flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hook state and Form integration
packages/ui/src/forms/Form/useFormSubmission.tsx, packages/ui/src/forms/Form/index.tsx
The hook exposes submission state and manages focus restoration. Form integrates the hook, preserves disabled state during reinitialization, and uses isModified for modification tracking.
Submission validation and request
packages/ui/src/forms/Form/useFormSubmission.tsx
The hook applies submission options, runs validation, resolves overrides and actions, and sends form data through the configured action.
Response handling and cleanup
packages/ui/src/forms/Form/useFormSubmission.tsx, test/form-state/e2e.spec.ts
The hook handles successful and failed responses, updates form errors and state, and restores disabled and processing state. The end-to-end test delays JavaScript bundle requests and checks disabled state before and after hydration.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Requires #19307.

Prerequisite for #19343.

Extracts form state and its related methods from the `Form` component
into a new `useFormState` hook. No behavior change.

```tsx
const {
  formState,
  isModified,
  isValid,
  resetFormState,
  validateForm,
  // ...
} = useFormState({
  // ...form context and props
})
```

This moves field updates, validation, and resets out of the `Form`
component. Callers continue to handle form-state requests through the
existing callbacks; #19343 moves the complete request lifecycle into the
form.
