456d153bb5 Client implementation of useFormState (#27278)
This implements useFormState in Fiber. (It does not include any
progressive enhancement features; those will be added later.)

useFormState is a hook for tracking state produced by async actions. It
has a signature similar to useReducer, but instead of a reducer, it
accepts an async action function.

```js
async function action(prevState, payload) {
  // ..
}
const [state, dispatch] = useFormState(action, initialState)
```

Calling dispatch runs the async action and updates the state to the
returned value.

Async actions run before React's render cycle, so unlike reducers, they
can contain arbitrary side effects.

b4cdd3e892 Scaffolding for useFormState (#27270)
This exposes, but does not yet implement, a new experimental API called
useFormState. It's gated behind the enableAsyncActions flag.

useFormState has a similar signature to useReducer, except instead of a
reducer it accepts an (async) action function. React will wait until the
promise resolves before updating the state:

```js
async function action(prevState, payload) {
  // ..
}
const [state, dispatch] = useFormState(action, initialState)
```

When used in combination with Server Actions, it will also support
progressive enhancement — a form that is submitted before it has
hydrated will have its state transferred to the next page. However, like
the other action-related hooks, it works with fully client-driven
actions, too.

540bab085d Implement experimental_useFormStatus (#26722)
This hook reads the status of its ancestor form component, if it exists.

```js
const {pending, data, action, method} = useFormStatus();
```

It can be used to implement a loading indicator, for example. You can
think of it as a shortcut for implementing a loading state with the
useTransition hook.

For now, it's only available in the experimental channel. We'll share
docs once its closer to being stable. There are additional APIs that
will ship alongside it.

Internally it's implemented using startTransition + a context object.
That's a good way to think about its behavior, but the actual
implementation details may change in the future.

Because form elements cannot be nested, the implementation in the
reconciler does not bother to keep track of multiple nested "transition
providers". So although it's implemented using generic Fiber config
methods, it does currently make some assumptions based on React DOM's
requirements.
