/**
 * Creates a form element for a field and can populate it with a default value.
 *
 * If the form element is not associated with an entity (i.e., $entity is NULL)
 * field_get_default_value will be called to supply the default value for the
 * field. Also allows other modules to alter the form element by implementing
 * their own hooks.
 *
 * @param $entity_type
 *   The type of entity (for example 'node' or 'user') that the field belongs
 *   to.
 * @param $entity
 *   The entity object that the field belongs to. This may be NULL if creating a
 *   form element with a default value.
 * @param $field
 *   An array representing the field whose editing element is being created.
 * @param $instance
 *   An array representing the structure for $field in its current context.
 * @param $langcode
 *   The language associated with the field.
 * @param $items
 *   An array of the field values. When creating a new entity this may be NULL
 *   or an empty array to use default values.
 * @param $form
 *   An array representing the form that the editing element will be attached
 *   to.
 * @param $form_state
 *   An array containing the current state of the form.
 * @param $get_delta
 *   Used to get only a specific delta value of a multiple value field.
 *
 * @return
 *  The form element array created for this field.
