/**
 * Assists in attaching the tableDrag JavaScript behavior to a themed table.
 *
 * Draggable tables should be used wherever an outline or list of sortable items
 * needs to be arranged by an end-user. Draggable tables are very flexible and
 * can manipulate the value of form elements placed within individual columns.
 *
 * To set up a table to use drag and drop in place of weight select-lists or in
 * place of a form that contains parent relationships, the form must be themed
 * into a table. The table must have an ID attribute set and it
 * may be set as follows:
 * @code
 * $table = array(
 *   '#type' => 'table',
 *   '#header' => $header,
 *   '#rows' => $rows,
 *   '#attributes' => array(
 *     'id' => 'my-module-table',
 *   ),
 * );
 * return \Drupal::service('renderer')->render($table);
 * @endcode
 *
 * In the theme function for the form, a special class must be added to each
 * form element within the same column, "grouping" them together.
 *
 * In a situation where a single weight column is being sorted in the table, the
 * classes could be added like this (in the theme function):
 * @code
 * $form['my_elements'][$delta]['weight']['#attributes']['class'] = array('my-elements-weight');
 * @endcode
 *
 * Each row of the table must also have a class of "draggable" in order to
 * enable the drag handles:
 * @code
 * $row = array(...);
 * $rows[] = array(
 *   'data' => $row,
 *   'class' => array('draggable'),
 * );
 * @endcode
 *
 * When tree relationships are present, the two additional classes
 * 'tabledrag-leaf' and 'tabledrag-root' can be used to refine the behavior:
 * - Rows with the 'tabledrag-leaf' class cannot have child rows.
 * - Rows with the 'tabledrag-root' class cannot be nested under a parent row.
 *
 * Calling drupal_attach_tabledrag() would then be written as such:
 * @code
 * drupal_attach_tabledrag('my-module-table', array(
 *   'action' => 'order',
 *   'relationship' => 'sibling',
 *   'group' => 'my-elements-weight',
 * );
 * @endcode
 *
 * In a more complex case where there are several groups in one column (such as
 * the block regions on the admin/structure/block page), a separate subgroup
 * class must also be added to differentiate the groups.
 * @code
 * $form['my_elements'][$region][$delta]['weight']['#attributes']['class'] = array('my-elements-weight', 'my-elements-weight-' . $region);
 * @endcode
 *
 * The 'group' option is still 'my-element-weight', and the additional
 * 'subgroup' option will be passed in as 'my-elements-weight-' . $region. This
 * also means that you'll need to call drupal_attach_tabledrag() once for every
 * region added.
 *
 * @code
 * foreach ($regions as $region) {
 *   drupal_attach_tabledrag('my-module-table', array(
 *     'action' => 'order',
 *     'relationship' => 'sibling',
 *     'group' => 'my-elements-weight',
 *     'subgroup' => 'my-elements-weight-' . $region,
 *   ));
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * In a situation where tree relationships are present, adding multiple
 * subgroups is not necessary, because the table will contain indentations that
 * provide enough information about the sibling and parent relationships. See
 * MenuForm::BuildOverviewForm for an example creating a table
 * containing parent relationships.
 *
 * @param $element
 *   A form element to attach the tableDrag behavior to.
 * @param array $options
 *   These options are used to generate JavaScript settings necessary to
 *   configure the tableDrag behavior appropriately for this particular table.
 *   An associative array containing the following keys:
 *   - 'table_id': String containing the target table's id attribute.
 *     If the table does not have an id, one will need to be set,
 *     such as <table id="my-module-table">.
 *   - 'action': String describing the action to be done on the form item.
 *      Either 'match' 'depth', or 'order':
 *     - 'match' is typically used for parent relationships.
 *     - 'order' is typically used to set weights on other form elements with
 *       the same group.
 *     - 'depth' updates the target element with the current indentation.
 *   - 'relationship': String describing where the "action" option
 *     should be performed. Either 'parent', 'sibling', 'group', or 'self':
 *     - 'parent' will only look for fields up the tree.
 *     - 'sibling' will look for fields in the same group in rows above and
 *       below it.
 *     - 'self' affects the dragged row itself.
 *     - 'group' affects the dragged row, plus any children below it (the entire
 *       dragged group).
 *   - 'group': A class name applied on all related form elements for this action.
 *   - 'subgroup': (optional) If the group has several subgroups within it, this
 *     string should contain the class name identifying fields in the same
 *     subgroup.
 *   - 'source': (optional) If the $action is 'match', this string should contain
 *     the classname identifying what field will be used as the source value
 *     when matching the value in $subgroup.
 *   - 'hidden': (optional) The column containing the field elements may be
 *     entirely hidden from view dynamically when the JavaScript is loaded. Set
 *     to FALSE if the column should not be hidden.
 *   - 'limit': (optional) Limit the maximum amount of parenting in this table.
 *

/**
 * Rebuilds the container, flushes all persistent caches, resets all variables, and rebuilds all data structures.
 *
 * At times, it is necessary to re-initialize the entire system to account for
 * changed or new code. This function:
 * - Rebuilds the container if $kernel is not passed in.
 * - Clears all persistent caches:
 *   - The bootstrap cache bin containing base system, module system, and theme
 *     system information.
 *   - The common 'default' cache bin containing arbitrary caches.
 *   - The page cache.
 *   - The URL alias path cache.
 * - Resets all static variables that have been defined via drupal_static().
 * - Clears asset (JS/CSS) file caches.
 * - Updates the system with latest information about extensions (modules and
 *   themes).
 * - Updates the bootstrap flag for modules implementing bootstrap_hooks().
 * - Rebuilds the full database schema information (invoking hook_schema()).
 * - Rebuilds data structures of all modules (invoking hook_rebuild()). In
 *   core this means
 *   - blocks, node types, date formats and actions are synchronized with the
 *     database
 *   - The 'active' status of fields is refreshed.
 * - Rebuilds the menu router.
 *
 * It's discouraged to call this during a regular page request.
 * If you call this function in tests, every code afterwards should use the new
 * container.
 *
 * This means the entire system is reset so all caches and static variables are
 * effectively empty. After that is guaranteed, information about the currently
 * active code is updated, and rebuild operations are successively called in
 * order to synchronize the active system according to the current information
 * defined in code.
 *
 * All modules need to ensure that all of their caches are flushed when
 * hook_cache_flush() is invoked; any previously known information must no
 * longer exist. All following hook_rebuild() operations must be based on fresh
 * and current system data. All modules must be able to rely on this contract.
 *
 * @see \Drupal\Core\Cache\CacheHelper::getBins()
 * @see hook_cache_flush()
 * @see hook_rebuild()
 *
 * This function also resets the theme, which means it is not initialized
 * anymore and all previously added JavaScript and CSS is gone. Normally, this
 * function is called as an end-of-POST-request operation that is followed by a
 * redirect, so this effect is not visible. Since the full reset is the whole
 * point of this function, callers need to take care for backing up all needed
 * variables and properly restoring or re-initializing them on their own. For
 * convenience, this function automatically re-initializes the maintenance theme
 * if it was initialized before.
 *
 * @todo Try to clear page/JS/CSS caches last, so cached pages can still be
 *   served during this possibly long-running operation. (Conflict on bootstrap
 *   cache though.)
 * @todo Add a global lock to ensure that caches are not primed in concurrent
 *   requests.
 *
 * @param \Drupal\Core\DrupalKernel|array $kernel
 *   (optional) The Drupal Kernel. It is the caller's responsibility to rebuild
 *   the container if this is passed in. Sometimes drupal_flush_all_caches is
