Make the fields read-only

When the values for fields is coming from the HL7 or any other system to the OpenSpecimen at that time user doesn't allow to edit those fields on OpenSpecimen UI.

To achieve that, the user is able to make those fields read -only by configuring the below code in the JSON workflow.
