Andrew Clark c3345638cb Support useFormStatus in progressively-enhanced forms (#29019)
Before this change, `useFormStatus` is only activated if a form is
submitted by an action function (either `<form action={actionFn}>` or
`<button formAction={actionFn}>`).

After this change, `useFormStatus` will also be activated if you call
`startTransition(actionFn)` inside a submit event handler that is
`preventDefault`-ed.

This is the last missing piece for implementing a custom `action` prop
that is progressively enhanced using `onSubmit` while maintaining the
same behavior as built-in form actions.

Here's the basic recipe for implementing a progressively-enhanced form
action. This would typically be implemented in your UI component
library, not regular application code:

```js
import {requestFormReset} from 'react-dom';

// To implement progressive enhancement, pass both a form action *and* a
// submit event handler. The action is used for submissions that happen
// before hydration, and the submit handler is used for submissions that
// happen after.
<form
  action={action}
  onSubmit={(event) => {
    // After hydration, we upgrade the form with additional client-
    // only behavior.
    event.preventDefault();

    // Manually dispatch the action.
    startTransition(async () => {
      // (Optional) Reset any uncontrolled inputs once the action is
      // complete, like built-in form actions do.
      requestFormReset(event.target);

      // ...Do extra action-y stuff in here, like setting a custom
      // optimistic state...

      // Call the user-provided action
      const formData = new FormData(event.target);
      await action(formData);
    });
  }}
/>
```
