Drupal chunks

Drupal chunks works like https://www.drupal.org/project/paragraphs, but stores the entity field data to the chunks fields instead of only the entity reference.

This has two benefits:

1. There are no problems when translating / cloning a node with a chunks field
2. When you have a node with 2000 chunks field items, the much must not load 2000 entities, since all entity data is stored into the chunk field as serialized data.

Drupal chunks also tries to have a better UI for content editors, with a preview view and icon-buttons to insert chunks.

Important: Version 7.x-1.x was a first draft, I am currently working on the master branch and will replace Version 7.x-1.x when I get any near stable.
