     * Stores errors and a list of child element errors directly on each element.
     *
     * Grouping elements like containers, details, fieldgroups and fieldsets may
     * need error info from their child elements to be able to accessibly show
     * form error messages to a user. For example, a details element should be
     * opened when child elements have errors.
     *
     * Grouping example:
     * Assume you have a 'street' element somewhere in a form, which is displayed
     * in a details element 'address'. It might be:
     *
     * @code
     * $form['street'] = [
     *   '#type' => 'textfield',
     *   '#title' => $this->t('Street'),
     *   '#group' => 'address',
     *   '#required' => TRUE,
     * ];
     * $form['address'] = [
     *   '#type' => 'details',
     *   '#title' => $this->t('Address'),
     * ];
     * @endcode
     *
     * When submitting an empty street field, the generated error is available to
     * the different render elements like so:
     * @code
     * // The street textfield element.
     * $element = [
     *   '#errors' => {Drupal\Core\StringTranslation\TranslatableMarkup},
     *   '#children_errors' => [],
     * ];
     * // The address detail element.
     * $element = [
     *   '#errors' => null,
     *   '#children_errors' => [
     *      'street' => {Drupal\Core\StringTranslation\TranslatableMarkup}
     *   ],
     * ];
     * @endcode
     *
     * The list of child element errors of an element is an associative array. A
     * child element error is keyed with the #array_parents value of the
     * respective element. The key is formed by imploding this value with '][' as
     * glue. For example, a value ['contact_info', 'name'] becomes
     * 'contact_info][name'.
     *
     * @param array $form
     *   An associative array containing a reference to the complete structure of
     *   the form.
     * @param \Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface $form_state
     *   The current state of the form.
     * @param array $elements
     *   An associative array containing the part of the form structure that will
     *   be processed while traversing up the tree. For recursion only; leave
     *   empty when calling this method.
