* Add settings to a field settings form.

* field to add global settings (i.e. settings that do not depend on the bundle
* or instance) to the field settings form. If the field already has data, only
* include settings that are safe to change.
*
* @todo: Only the field type module knows which settings will affect the
* field's schema, but only the field storage module knows what schema
* changes are permitted once a field already has data. Probably we need an
* easy way for a field type module to ask whether an update to a new schema
* will be allowed without having to build up a fake $prior_field structure
* for hook_field_update_forbid().
