/**
 * Get a plugin configuration form.
 *
 * The $form_info and $form_state need to be preconfigured with data you'll need
 * such as whether or not you're using ajax, or the modal. $form_info will need
 * your next/submit callbacks so that you can cache your data appropriately.
 *
 * @param array $form_info
 *   This form_info *must* contain at least the path. next and finish callbacks
 *   are advisable but not necessary if using wizard's auto caching. Setting
 *   a cache mechanism is advisable. If not using auto caching, next and finish
 *   callbacks will be necessary.
 *
 *   Also be sure to set up things such as AJAX settings and any temporary
 *   data you will need. Simply setting 'modal' => TRUE and
 *   'modal return' => TRUE should make this system work well in the modal.
 *
 *   In addition to standard wizard fields, this supports one extra field:
 *   - 'default form': A callback to a 'wrapper' that will be applied to either
 *     the first or a marked form. This is useful for adding global features that
 *     are applicable to all instances of a plugin, such as identifiers, or
 *     contexts, or the like.
 *
 * @param array &$form_state
 *   This is a standard form state array. This system imposes some requirements
 *   on what will be in the form state:
 *
 *   - 'plugin': The plugin definition being edited.
 *   - 'conf': The configuration that is being edited, presumed to be an array.
 *             Ultimately at the end, this is where the modified config will be
 *             found.
 *   - 'op': The operation, either 'add' or 'edit'. This is used to derive form
 *           names and can also be used to derive default values from the plugin.
 *   - 'step': The current step. May be null if it is the 'first' step, but
 *             generally needs to be defined in the path.
 *
 * @param string $default_form
 *   An optional default form that can be added.
 *
 * @return
 *   If this function returns false, no form exists.
