Various improvements to the generic View code
Among others:
* Added the 'page' argument to the simple.errorResponse call
* Pass the result of getEmptyKeyFields to edit() in create()
* Fix typo's in error responses
* Fixed a todo to properly redirect on create
* Made editPost return something when the form is not valid
* Added an _editGet hook

"""
Takes two datetime objects and returns the time between d and now
as a nicely formatted string, e.g. "10 minutes". If d occurs after now,
then "0 minutes" is returned.
Units used are years, months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes.
Seconds and microseconds are ignored. Up to two adjacent units will be
displayed. For example, "2 weeks, 3 days" and "1 year, 3 months" are
possible outputs, but "2 weeks, 3 hours" and "1 year, 5 days" are not.
