Summary of Changes
Altough Honeypot is not really a "captcha" functionality I think it fits best in the captcha plugin group. This plugin creates a hidden field named "repeatmail". The field name can be changed by the user. If repeatmail is filled, the form can't be sent.
Testing Instructions
Enable the Honeypot in the Captcha Options in your main configuration.
- Use the Contactform and send a mail -> everything should work as before
- Use element inspector to disable the StyleDeclaration that hides the field and fill the field, try to send the form, an error should appear.
Documentation Changes Required
Yes, as it's a new feature

Google Captcha v1 and v2 are outdated and the new "invisible recaptcha" creates a always visible google flag. I think a honeypot solution is much more userfriendly and does not display large flags like this in the page corner:

Why do you allow the field name to be changed? Remember that as the field is only hidden from sighted users so in order for this to work as intended the fieldname must be something that a user of assistive technology would not think they need to complete,
@brianteeman thought i would keep it flexible when allowing to change the fieldname so if someone woukd have a repeatmail field for real the conflict could be resolved. How to tell screenreaders that this field is not important i will investigate.

As far as I am aware that is not possible
I got some more feedback outside this PR and want to put it on hold for a few weeks until I have the time to implement all suggestions. Thanks for reviewing to everyone.
I searched for different possibilities to make the Honeypot - really - accessible but i did not found a method. I think we need something in core that is Google-Independant - but i have no idea what. Closing this for now.

Personally I dont see the need to add this to the core
