Associate forms to collections in the UI

[paulo-graca]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This is a must have feature required by a lot of our users...
The ability for the user, the admin user, not the sysadmin, to assign a specific for to a collection at the interface.

Describe the solution you'd like

Currently, the admin user can associate an entity to a collection, also, the item-submission is configured to associate a form to an entity or to a collection. It's very useful for an admin user to be able to, autonomously, assign a collection to a specific form.

Describe alternatives or workarounds you've considered

It will be needed an additional collection field to store what form the user chose at the frontend and the backend. And to consider that form field in the process of loading the submission form (currently done for entities). We already have an end-point that retrieves a list of submission definitions (https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract/blob/main/submissiondefinitions.md).

this is available in DSpace-CRIS (essentially it is a collection metadata). You are welcome to look to the solution and backport to dspace. Otherwise, if of interest we can try to prioritize this contribution but we are already engaged on several tasks on a volunteer basis
