to handle creation of parameter definition widgets
Previously, these configuration widgets were all hardcoded into the Python modeler
dialog. This prevented 3rd party, plugin provided, parameters from ever being full
first class citizens in QGIS, as there was no way to allow their use as inputs to
user created models to be customised.
Now, the registry is responsible for creating the configuration widget, allowing
for 3rd party parameter types to provide their own customised configuration
widgets.

This change makes it easier to subclass `Grass7AlgorithProvider` which
allows e.g. to expose GRASS Addons as QGIS plugins.
Disclaimer: `Grass7AlgorithProvider` is a private API and it may change
without warning. 3rd parties that rely on this should expect
that their code will break in future releases.
For more info please check the comments at #30252
Nevertheless, it currently is possible to subclass with something like this:
class CustomGrassBasedProvider(Grass7AlgorithmProvider):
# Set descriptionFolder to our own description directory
descriptionFolder = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'description')
# 3rd party plugins don't need an activation/deactivation setting
activateSetting = None
# define the rest of the methods that are needed (e.g. name(), id() etc)
# ...

This prevents a bunch of unwanted redraws being triggered mid-way
through operations like loading projects, which sometimes can
result in crashes.

Returns a map containing all attributes from a feature, with field
names as map keys. We've got featureful, robust support for working
with maps in expressions now, so this allows rapid conversion
of all feature attributes to a map to use with these handy
functions.
symbols to the left OR symbols to the right of legend text), and
alignment for group/subgroup/item text
Allows creation of right-to-left locale friendly legends. Additionally,
we default to this right-to-left style alignment when creating new
legends under a RTL based locale.
Allows for rendering a marker symbol in the background of labels
(complementing the existing shapes/SVG choices). This allows use
of QGIS marker symbology as a background symbol behind labels (e.g.
for highway shield labels)
