Generic clr-input-container

[RobArbor]

Summary

It would be nice to have a more generic clr-input-container.
So i can use third party controls within the clarity forms.

• What is the change?
  A generic form container element, to use with custom elements / controls.

• Why should it go in Clarity?
  Make it easy to use custom elements / controls that fit in the clarity form layout.
  Would make clarity better compatible with third party controls.

Examples

<form clrForm>
  <clr-generic-container>
    <label>My label</label>
    <my-awesome-control class="clr-control"></my-awesome-control>
  </clr-generic-container>
</form>

Workarounds

Currently i've created a very simple version in my project but it lacks the multiple layouts implementation and only works with a horizontal layout.

This is an interesting request, and not something that is as simple as making a generic container. Each control also has to implement a set number of things to work properly with the container, and while I like the idea of opening this up so its more generic, its more complex than just a generic container.

I'll keep this as a feature request for the future, but for now you might consider reviewing how the input is implemented and seeing if you can duplicate the conditions in your own controls.

I'm going to close this request in favor of #2886 which has more detail about the same request.
