Track errors across all forms and provide feedback via messages to user. #118

It can be difficult for users to see what the underlying problem is when a mass edit fails. Often, its because the data is not correctly supplied to a form. In one case I had, tracking all the form messages allowed me to find an "edge case" in the model's clean() function that was preventing the mass edit completing properly.

The proposed patch does not change any of the core logic but only adds an extra tracking functionality so users can get feedback on any failures via Django's messaging framework.

It would be amazing if this change could be merged in.
