      Allow users to pre-fill the entity editor, like in the musicbrainz release editor.

      We already currently do some of that to allow pre-filling the work contained in a new edition, or a new work written by an author:
      https://bookbrainz.org/edition/create?work=e6c94ec2-098f-4e00-a1ab-c6824f8668c8
      [https://bookbrainz.org/work/create?author=e5c4e68b-bfce-4c77-9ca2-0f0a2d4d09f0

      ]

      This feature should be extended to allow pre-filling all fields, to allow for the use of userscripts for example.

      Contrarily to the example above where we create an entity with an initial relationship by passing a BBID in the URL parameters, a new route should be created that accepts POST requests with URL encoded form data (application/x-www-form-urlencoded).
      The POST request should return an HTML page with a pre-filled entity editor
