Refactors PdmUiItem and moves PdmUiItemInfo and PdmOptionItemInfo classes. Adds attribute support as a replacement for defineEditorAttributes
Migrates UI editor attribute definitions from direct member access in `defineEditorAttribute` to a map-based system using `setAttribute`.
Explains the migration from the old `defineEditorAttribute` pattern to the new `setAttribute` pattern using type-safe Keys structs in the PDM UI editor. Highlights the benefits of the new pattern, including type safety, IDE support, self-documentation, maintainability, and validation. Provides examples of common attribute usage for different editor types. Clarifies backward compatibility, noting the coexistence of both patterns during migration.
Updates the way UI label positions are set for PDM fields.
