/**
* Converts a form element in the new view wizard to be AJAX-enabled.
*
* This function takes a form element and adds AJAX behaviors to it such that
* changing it triggers another part of the form to update automatically. It
* also adds a submit-button to the form that appears next to the triggering
* element, and that duplicates its functionality for users who do not have
* JavaScript enabled (the button is automatically hidden for users who do
* have JavaScript).
*
* To use this function, call it directly from your form builder function
* immediately after you have defined the form element that will serve as the
* JavaScript trigger. Calling it elsewhere (such as in hook_form_alter()) may
* mean that the non-JavaScript fallback button does not appear in the correct
* place in the form.
*
* @param array $wrappingElement
* The element whose child will server as the AJAX trigger. For example, if
* $form['some_wrapper']['triggering_element'] represents the element which
* will trigger the AJAX behavior, you would pass $form['some_wrapper'] for
* this parameter.
* @param string $triggerKey
* The key within the wrapping element that identifies which of its children
* serves as the AJAX trigger. In the above example, you would pass
* 'triggering_element' for this parameter.
* @param string[] $refreshParents
* An array of parent keys that point to the part of the form that AJAX will
* refresh. For example, if triggering the AJAX behavior should cause
* $form['dynamic_content']['section'] to be refreshed, you would pass
* ['dynamic_content', 'section'] for this parameter.
