The motivation of this commit comes from breadcrumbs.
Breadcrumbs work as follows: for each controller in the stack of
the ActionService, there is an entry in the breadcrumbs. Except
for the last entry (which corresponds to the currently displayed
controller), the value to display is computed by the ActionService
and stored in this.env.config.breadcrumbs. For the last entry,
we use the displayName set in this.env.config.
When a view wants to update its displayName (e.g. the form view
when we switch to another record), it updates the displayName in
the config, which thus correctly updates the breadcrumbs. However,
this doesn't change the internal values in the ActionService, so if
another controller is stacked over the current one, the penultimate
entry is wrong. To update the internal state of the ActionService,
the event 'controller-title-updated' must be triggered as well,
which is cumbersome. Note that we don't really face the issue yet
because among already converted views, none of them need to update
its displayName in the breadcrumbs.
This commit aims at uniformizing the way the (n-1) first entries
and the last one behave, by making the "breadcrumbs" key encode
all breadcrumbs entries (the n-1 first ones, and the last, current
one). We also replace the "displayName" key by "getDisplayName"
such that it uses a single source of truth, located in the
ActionService, and we provide a function "setDisplayName" to update
it. Finally, this commit introduces the notion of "default config"
which ensures that standalone views, or views in tests, have a
valid config with expected keys.
