As part of the analysis of balloon editor needs (LPS-122371), we identified some occurrences of AlloyEditor in commerce and forms products. Given the plans to create a new balloon editor and deprecate AlloyEditor in the future, these occurrences shall be migrated to use a different solution.

Moreover, the identified usages seem not needed: a regular ckeditor or even just a properly formatted input field can be used in place of AlloyEditor.

Goal of this epic is to remove AlloyEditor occurrences in Commerce and Forms, substituting a more suitable solution for those.

Acceptance criteria:

• No usages of AlloyEditor are made by commerce code
• No usages of AlloyEditor are made by forms code
• All usages of AlloyEditor are properly replaced, meaning there's no functionality loss
