Description

In QGIS 3.X, when doing data entry, the form size and location is reset for every new feature and only remembered for a single feature. This makes data entry very cumbersome particularly for multiple monitors or larger forms. If this is not a bug and people want this behaviour, it should be disabled by default and only available by an option.

e.g.

Remember form settings by -:
Layer or Feature

Revert 5b9be7a

Since the attribute table dialog object name is set to match
the layer/featureid combo, this commit was causing the attribute
form dialog to remember its position and size for each
feature/layer combo individually.

That's NOT what we want!
