Fixed #6337. Refs #3632 -- Fixed ModelForms subclassing, to the extent that it can be made to work. 

This ended up being an almost complete rewrite of ModelForms.__new__, but
should be backwards compatible (although the text of one error message has
changed, which is only user visible and only if you pass in invalid code).

Documentation updated, also.

This started out as a patch from semenov (many thanks!), but by the time all
the problems were hammered out, little of the original was left. Still, it was
a good starting point.

Form inheritance
----------------
As with the basic forms, you can extend and reuse ``ModelForms`` by inheriting
them. Normally, this will be useful if you need to declare some extra fields
or extra methods on a parent class for use in a number of forms derived from
models. For example, using the previous ``ArticleForm`` class::
>>> class EnhancedArticleForm(ArticleForm):
... def clean_pub_date(self):
... ...
This creates a form that behaves identically to ``ArticleForm``, except there
is some extra validation and cleaning for the ``pub_date`` field.
There are a couple of things to note, however. Most of these won't normally be
of concern unless you are trying to do something tricky with subclassing.
* All the fields from the parent classes will appear in the child
``ModelForm``. This means you cannot change a parent's ``Meta.exclude``
attribute, for example, and except it to have an effect, since the field is
already part of the field list in the parent class.
* Normal Python name resolution rules apply. If you have multiple base
classes that declare a ``Meta`` inner class, only the first one will be
used. This means the child's ``Meta``, if it exists, otherwise the
``Meta`` of the first parent, etc.
* For technical reasons, you cannot have a subclass that is inherited from
both a ``ModelForm`` and a ``Form`` simultaneously.
Because of the "child inherits all fields from parents" behaviour, you
shouldn't try to declare model fields in multiple classes (parent and child).
Instead, declare all the model-related stuff in one class and use inheritance
to add "extra" non-model fields and methods to the final result. Whether you
put the "extra" functions in the parent class or the child class will depend
on how you intend to reuse them.
