[UX] Hide redundant items in Node Edit form.

I have recently provided a user with access to edit some pages in a simple Backdrop site. I would have liked to hide the link 'Edit summary' because the pages to be edited do not have a summary, and I would have liked to remove the 'FORMATTING OPTIONS' control since in this case there are no options.

Can these items be hidden when they are not needed?
