Description

• we rename @Action(associateWith=) -> @Action(choicesFrom=) ... this is an action concern not a parameter concern, as there can only be one selection provider per action
• we introduce @ActionLayout(associateWith=) so that we have the layout concern separated from the behavioral concern
• @Action(choicesFrom=) implies @ActionLayout(associateWith=) but not the other way around

As a follow up the demo needs to be updated.
