[ckan-dev] Forms refactor status.

[David Raznick]

Hello

I will have just merged into default the work I have been doing on the forms
refactor.

Plugins that make their own formalchemy forms for packages/groups will *No*
longer work automatically.  It is encouraged to convert these forms to use
templates.  Look in docs/forms.rst for a bit more guidance in how todo this.
The form in ckanext-dgu is also a very complicated case that would be useful
to look at.

However, for the time being, there will be a way to keep using the
formalchemy forms.  To do this the extensions will have to add this as part
of their IRoutes plugin.

def before_map(self, map):
    map.connect('/package/new', controller='package_formalchemy',
action='new')
    map.connect('/package/edit/{id}', controller='package_formalchemy',
action='edit')
    return map

The authzs forms also need to be refacored to not use formalchemy as some
point soon and then we will be rid of it entirely.
