[Fedik]

Pull Request for Issue #29241.

Summary of Changes

Adds a new layout that rendering subforms fields in Grid (which partially mimic the table look).
Wich make it more responsive.

It is not 1:1 replacement for table, here is no headers and the labels is rendered within the input.
But in most cases should be good for such views.

Testing Instructions

Run npm install
Create subform field somewhere:

<field type="subform" name="subform1" label="subform1" multiple="true" 
layout="joomla.form.field.subform.repeatable-grid">
    <form>
            <field type="text" name="text" label="Text"/>
            <field type="text" name="text2" label="Text2"/>
            <field type="text" name="text3" label="Text3"/>
    </form>
</field>
<field type="subform" name="subform2" label="subform2" multiple="true" groupByFieldset="true"  
layout="joomla.form.field.subform.repeatable-grid">
    <form>
        <fieldset name="set1" label="Set 1">
            <field type="text" name="text" label="Text"/>
        </fieldset>
        <fieldset name="set2" label="Set 1">
            <field type="text" name="text2" label="Text2"/>
            <field type="text" name="text3" label="Text3"/>

Tested with custom fields and works as expected. Just one more thing, had to use npm ci instead of npm install.
