    installer(8): Implement form field change callback mechanism
    
    Implement a callback mechanism for form field change.  This allows the
    backend to dynamically update the dependent form fields when user
    modifies one field.
    
    The whole interaction flow is:
    1. Set the callback function for a form field;
    2. The frontend presents the form;
    3. User fills the field and changes focus;
    4. The frontend sends the FIELD_CHANGED message and waits for the reply;
    5. The backend handles the message, triggers the callback, and replies
       the FIELD_CHANGED_ACK message with the full dataset;
    6. The frontend applies the dataset to present the updated form.
    
    For example, when user fills the interface IP address, the callback will
    auto fill the default router / gateway address.
    
    TODO: The following low-priority features are missing:
    - Update a "multiple" form with multiple datasets;
    - Encode and report callback errors.
