Description
### Expected Behaviour
Currently, AEM Forms customers both on-premises and cloud services face challenges in migrating their foundation forms to core component-based Adaptive Forms. To address this, we aim to utilize aem-modernize-tools to streamline the migration process.
To ensure clarity and efficiency, we intend to introduce a dedicated tile for forms. A separate tile for forms is required since:
1. The All-in-One conversion job mandates configuration paths and other parameters for policy conversion, which are unnecessary for forms.
2. The Component conversion job lacks Page Handling options essential for forms.
3. Adaptive Forms (AF) are accessible both as a Site page located at /content/forms/af and as a Digital Asset Management (DAM) asset at /content/dam/formsanddocument. Therefore, to utilize the "Copy to Target" page policy, we must copy the source form (asset) to the target, a functionality not available in any of the existing conversion jobs.
4. Furthermore, this separation ensures that any future additions of form-specific code to the tool won't impact other conversion jobs.
5. To prevent user confusion regarding the appropriate job to execute for specific purposes.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the requirements in this issue and the referenced aem-modernize-tools PR #210. The forms-modernizer PR is marked in progress, so check its current state before beginning. Done means a dedicated forms conversion tile supports the stated policy, page-handling, and source-asset copying needs without affecting other conversion jobs.
