Added grouping support to all forms, converted role as example
Any field that has the 'group' property set be placed in the
specified group. If no such proprty is set, the 'General' group will
be used instead.

31. Validation
This is an experimental feature!
Each model instance has a validate() method that returns a dictionary of
validation errors in the instance's fields. This method has a side effect
of converting each field to its appropriate Python data type.
