Description
This is a successor to #29490 and a result of the discussion on #22298 and its corresponding forum thread.
This ticket aims to move object-based media assets to the public API and documentation.
A sample implementation has been part of the test suite for years, see also: https://github.com/django/django/blob/97a6a678c406b0049bd17bcd34f1d71d96141994/tests/forms_tests/tests/test_media.py#L717-L771
The goal is to support form assets with modern attributes, like:
<script type="module"> <!-- or --> <script defer> <!-- or --> <script async>
And other standardized attributes, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script
The same can be done for stylesheets via the link tag, which does support many more attributes than media, see also: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/link
Considerations
We could deprecate "string" based assets. This may simplify django.forms since, the CSS grouping wouldn't be needed anymore.
