In an effort to match the patterns established by `LinkInterceptor` and `FormInterceptor`, this commit introduces a `FormLinkInterceptor` and `FormLinkInterceptorDelegate`. Behind the scenes, the `FormLinkInterceptor` relies on an instance of the `LinkInterceptor` to intervene in `<a>` element clicks when `[data-turbo-method]` or `[data-turbo-stream]` are present. When those clicks are detected, it creates a `<form hidden>` element, attaches it to the document, delegates to a `FormLinkInterceptorDelegate` to map the `<a>` element's attributes to the `<form>` element, submits the form through the polyfilled [HTMLFormElement.requestSubmit][] method, then removes the `<form>` from the document. The `Session` serves as a `FormLinkInterceptorDelegate`, making sure to start and stop the observer _before_ its `LinkInterceptor` instance, so that clicks that are intercepted by the `FormLinkInterceptor` are not also intercepted by the `LinkInterceptor`.

Apologies if this edge case is already handled, I don't have a full understanding of all of the internals of Turbo.
But in the case that Turbo.session.drive = false, but on this link data-turbo="true" is specified, then wouldn't the form created by this also need to set data-turbo="true" on the form element for it to be handled by Turbo?
I have a PR open to address this (#500) but the addition of this FormLinkInterceptor would change where that behavior should be implemented.

Thank you for raising these concerns! I've pushed up d317319 to add test coverage for the cases you've outlined.
