/**
 * Base class for all forms.
 * The form class is an extensible base for all forms on a SilverStripe application.  It can be used
 * either by extending it, and creating processor methods on the subclass, or by creating instances
 * of form whose actions are handled by the parent controller.
 *
 * In either case, if you want to get a form to do anything, it must be inextricably tied to a
 * controller.  The constructor is passed a controller and a method on that controller.  This method
 * should return the form object, and it shouldn't require any arguments.  Parameters, if necessary,
 * can be passed using the URL or get variables.  These restrictions are in place so that we can
 * recreate the form object upon form submission, without the use of a session, which would be too
 * resource-intensive.
 *
 * You will need to create at least one method for processing the submission (through {@link FormAction}).
 * This method will be passed two parameters: the raw request data, and the form object.
 * Usually you want to save data into a {@link DataObject} by using {@link saveInto()}.
 * If you want to process the submitted data in any way, please use {@link getData()} rather than
 * the raw request data.
 *
 * <h2>Validation</h2>
 * Each form needs some form of {@link Validator} to trigger the {@link FormField->validate()} methods for each field.
 * You can't disable validator for security reasons, because crucial behaviour like extension checks for file uploads
 * depend on it.
 * The default validator is an instance of {@link RequiredFields}.
 * If you want to enforce serverside-validation to be ignored for a specific {@link FormField},
 * you need to subclass it.
 *
 * <h2>URL Handling</h2>
 * The form class extends {@link RequestHandler}, which means it can
 * be accessed directly through a URL. This can be handy for refreshing
 * a form by ajax, or even just displaying a single form field.
 * You can find out the base URL for your form by looking at the
 * <form action="..."> value. For example, the edit form in the CMS would be located at
 * "admin/EditForm". This URL will render the form without its surrounding
 * template when called through GET instead of POST.
 *
 * By appending to this URL, you can render individual form elements
 * through the {@link FormField->FieldHolder()} method.
 * For example, the "URLSegment" field in a standard CMS form would be
 * accessible through "admin/EditForm/field/URLSegment/FieldHolder".
