/**
* Adds JavaScript to change the state of an element based on another element.
*
* A "state" means a certain property of a DOM element, such as "visible" or
* "checked", which depends on a state or value of another element on the
* page. In general, states are HTML attributes and DOM element properties,
* which are applied initially, when page is loaded, depending on elements'
* default values, and then may change due to user interaction.
*
* Since states are driven by JavaScript only, it is important to understand
* that all states are applied on presentation only, none of the states force
* any server-side logic, and that they will not be applied for site visitors
* without JavaScript support. All modules implementing states have to make
* sure that the intended logic also works without JavaScript being enabled.
*
* #states is an associative array in the form of:
* @code
* [
* STATE1 => CONDITIONS_ARRAY1,
* STATE2 => CONDITIONS_ARRAY2,
* ...
* ]
* @endcode
* Each key is the name of a state to apply to the element, such as 'visible'.
* Each value is a list of conditions that denote when the state should be
* applied.
*
* Multiple different states may be specified to act on complex conditions:
* @code
* [
* 'visible' => CONDITIONS,
* 'checked' => OTHER_CONDITIONS,
* ]
* @endcode
*
* Every condition is a key/value pair, whose key is a jQuery selector that
* denotes another element on the page, and whose value is an array of
* conditions, which must bet met on that element:
* @code
* [
* 'visible' => [
* JQUERY_SELECTOR => REMOTE_CONDITIONS,
* JQUERY_SELECTOR => REMOTE_CONDITIONS,
* ...
* ],
* ]
* @endcode
* All conditions must be met for the state to be applied.
*
* Each remote condition is a key/value pair specifying conditions on the
* other element that need to be met to apply the state to the element:
* @code
* [
* 'visible' => [
* ':input[name="remote_checkbox"]' => ['checked' => TRUE],
* ],
* ]
* @endcode
*
* For example, to show a textfield only when a checkbox is checked:
* @code
* $form['toggle_me'] = [
* '#type' => 'checkbox',
* '#title' => t('Tick this box to type'),
* ];
* $form['settings'] = [
* '#type' => 'textfield',
* '#states' => [
* // Only show this field when the 'toggle_me' checkbox is enabled.
* 'visible' => [
* ':input[name="toggle_me"]' => ['checked' => TRUE],
* ],
* ],
* ];
* @endcode
*
* The following states may be applied to an element:
* - enabled
* - disabled
* - required
* - optional
* - visible
* - invisible
* - checked
* - unchecked
* - expanded
* - collapsed
*
* The following states may be used in remote conditions:
* - empty
* - filled
* - checked
* - unchecked
* - expanded
* - collapsed
* - value
*
* The following states exist for both elements and remote conditions, but are
* not fully implemented and may not change anything on the element:
* - relevant
* - irrelevant
* - valid
* - invalid
* - touched
* - untouched
* - readwrite
* - readonly
*
* When referencing select lists and radio buttons in remote conditions, a
* 'value' condition must be used:
* @code
* '#states' => [
* // Show the settings if 'bar' has been selected for 'foo'.
* 'visible' => [
* ':input[name="foo"]' => ['value' => 'bar'],
* ],
* ],
* @endcode
*
* @param array $elements
* A render array element having a #states property as described above.
