/**
 * Provides an entity autocomplete form element.
 *
 * The autocomplete form element allows users to select one or multiple
 * entities, which can come from all or specific bundles of an entity type.
 *
 * Properties:
 * - #target_type: (required) The ID of the target entity type.
 * - #tags: (optional) TRUE if the element allows multiple selection. Defaults
 *   to FALSE.
 * - #default_value: (optional) The default entity or an array of default
 *   entities, depending on the value of #tags.
 * - #selection_handler: (optional) The plugin ID of the entity reference
 *   selection handler (a plugin of type EntityReferenceSelection). The default
 *   value is the lowest-weighted plugin that is compatible with #target_type.
 * - #selection_settings: (optional) An array of settings for the selection
 *   handler. Settings for the default selection handler
 *   \Drupal\Core\Entity\Plugin\EntityReferenceSelection\DefaultSelection are:
 *   - target_bundles: Array of bundles to allow (omit to allow all bundles).
 *   - sort: Array with 'field' and 'direction' keys, determining how results
 *     will be sorted. Defaults to unsorted.
 * - #autocreate: (optional) Array of settings used to auto-create entities
 *   that do not exist (omit to not auto-create entities). Elements:
 *   - bundle: (required) Bundle to use for auto-created entities.
 *   - uid: User ID to use as the author of auto-created entities. Defaults to
 *     the current user.
 * - #process_default_value: (optional) Set to FALSE if the #default_value
 *   property is processed and access checked elsewhere (such as by a Field API
 *   widget). Defaults to TRUE.
 * - #validate_reference: (optional) Set to FALSE if validation of the selected
 *   entities is performed elsewhere. Defaults to TRUE.
 *
 * Usage example:
 * @code
 * $form['my_element'] = [
 *  '#type' => 'entity_autocomplete',
 *  '#target_type' => 'node',
 *  '#tags' => TRUE,
 *  '#default_value' => $node,
 *  '#selection_handler' => 'default',
 *  '#selection_settings' => [
 *    'target_bundles' => ['article', 'page'],
 *   ],
 *  '#autocreate' => [
 *    'bundle' => 'article',
 *    'uid' => <a valid user ID>,
 *   ],
 * ];
 * @endcode
 *
 * @see \Drupal\Core\Entity\Plugin\EntityReferenceSelection\DefaultSelection
