[Bug 1792474] [NEW] Have pieforms to always throw an exception if called after smarty() call
Public bug reported:
Sometimes when trying to add a form to a page we get an error similar to
this:
Pieform element xxxxxxx wants to add headdata to the page, but it's too
late. Build your form before generating the page.
It is meaning we need to generate the form before getting to the call
$smarty = smarty();
It is due to some pieform fields needing to add content to the <head> of
a page via the pieform_element_*_get_headdata() function , such as a
calendar field, that rely on certain js/css to function correctly.
However, some other pieform fields do not have this problem, and so can
cause confusion for developers
It would be better to force all pieform content to be generated before
the smarty() call for consistency
