Luke Plant f026a519ae Fixed #19733 - deprecated ModelForms without 'fields' or 'exclude', and added '__all__' shortcut
This also updates all dependent functionality, including modelform_factory
 and modelformset_factory, and the generic views `ModelFormMixin`,
 `CreateView` and `UpdateView` which gain a new `fields` attribute.

Model Form Functions
====================
.. module:: django.forms.models
:synopsis: Django's functions for building model forms and formsets.
.. function:: modelform_factory(model, form=ModelForm, fields=None, exclude=None, formfield_callback=None, widgets=None)
Returns a :class:`~django.forms.ModelForm` class for the given ``model``.
You can optionally pass a ``form`` argument to use as a starting point for
constructing the ``ModelForm``.
``fields`` is an optional list of field names. If provided, only the named
fields will be included in the returned fields.
``exclude`` is an optional list of field names. If provided, the named
fields will be excluded from the returned fields, even if they are listed
in the ``fields`` argument.
``widgets`` is a dictionary of model field names mapped to a widget.
``formfield_callback`` is a callable that takes a model field and returns
a form field.
See :ref:`modelforms-factory` for example usage.
.. versionchanged:: 1.6
You must provide the list of fields explicitly, either via keyword arguments
``fields`` or ``exclude``, or the corresponding attributes on the form's
inner ``Meta`` class. See :ref:`modelforms-selecting-fields` for more
information. Omitting any definition of the fields to use will result in all
fields being used, but this behaviour is deprecated.
.. function:: modelformset_factory(model, form=ModelForm, formfield_callback=None, formset=BaseModelFormSet, extra=1, can_delete=False, can_order=False, max_num=None, fields=None, exclude=None, widgets=None, validate_max=False)
Returns a ``FormSet`` class for the given ``model`` class.
Arguments ``model``, ``form``, ``fields``, ``exclude``,
``formfield_callback`` and ``widgets`` are all passed through to
:func:`~django.forms.models.modelform_factory`.
Arguments ``formset``, ``extra``, ``max_num``, ``can_order``,
``can_delete`` and ``validate_max`` are passed through to
:func:`~django.forms.formsets.formset_factory`. See :ref:`formsets` for
details.
See :ref:`model-formsets` for example usage.
.. versionchanged:: 1.6
The ``widgets`` and the ``validate_max`` parameters were added.
.. function:: inlineformset_factory(parent_model, model, form=ModelForm, formset=BaseInlineFormSet, fk_name=None, fields=None, exclude=None, extra=3, can_order=False, can_delete=True, max_num=None, formfield_callback=None, widgets=None, validate_max=False)
Returns an ``InlineFormSet`` using :func:`modelformset_factory` with
defaults of ``formset=BaseInlineFormSet``, ``can_delete=True``, and
``extra=3``.
If your model has more than one :class:`~django.db.models.ForeignKey` to
the ``parent_model``, you must specify a ``fk_name``.
See :ref:`inline-formsets` for example usage.
.. versionchanged:: 1.6
The ``widgets`` and the ``validate_max`` parameters were added.
