Implement support for managing article galleries in article edit
Description
Don't implement a field type plugin for this, but instead extend the article form.
Should have no album management here. Strictly be a field to upload or link to media.
Allow deletion of last 30ish uploaded/linked media and rest can be managed in the gallery itself.
Suppress display of buttons, search, and type filter in the gallery article display. Add support for displaying gallery at top, bottom, OR inline. Now add an editor button feature (from the CMS Content dropdown and NOT below the editor!) for inserting the gallery or individual media.
This should provide a much more streamlined experience for article galleries allowing for a much cleaner multi-media article gallery. After CB 3.x convert this into an official Joomla fieldtype plugin and more generalized so it can be utilized in 3rd party extensions.
