Currently, a user can't fill in an entity form while forms are being updated. We should revise this so that the following rules are true:
Form entry is not blocked while downloading forms
Form entry is blocked while processing the form I'm opening or while processing entities that the form uses
Forms and entities are not perceivably updated during form entry
Form/entity updates can be downloaded during form entry - a user does not need to be online to then receive the update after form entry
A form should not be available for form entry without local entities
Manual downloads/updates can't happen at the same time as background ones
Notes
This would mean a fairly substantial shift in how form updates work. Implementation wise, one possibility would be to split what we now call "download" logic into two distinct parts: "download" and "process":
download: new forms and form updates (and their media files) are downloaded
process: downloaded forms are processed - local entities updated, databases/file system updated so that the forms are available
This approach could use a "holding" directory to store new forms/updates that are still to be processed, or it could even work like the automatic form import: forms could be downloaded to forms and then processing could scan for forms not in the DB.
