Feature request: New contact buttons on the API 4 autocomplete widget

Overview

For using the APIv4 autocomplete widget, such as for the Existing Contact field, it would be useful to be able to create new contacts, as is possible with the Select2 drop downs, such as for selecting a Contributor on a backend contribution.

Example use-case

  1. Add the Existing Contact field to a FormBuilder form
  2. A user can look up a contact to select, but if there are no results/a new one is needed, they can click a New Individual button to add one without being redirected from the original form

Current behaviour

The APIv4 autocomplete widget does not allow for creating new contacts.

Proposed behaviour

The APIv4 autocomplete widget should have feature parity when it comes to creating new contacts on the spot as the Select2 option
