While looking at the empty nick issue (and the earlier password related tweaks) I noticed there where quite a few fields which did not present user feedback in a clear manner. Most likely many forms are still configured for whatever "old" CSS styling was used before bootstrap.
This PR adds a small helper where we can add some default FormHelper configuration to make it work with Bootstrap field validations by default. Didn't find a good way to "include" it globally, in CakePHP2 so for now it's manually included in relevant forms. As a bonus, this also lets us clean up a lot of boilerplate from form/input related templates.
Changes:
A lot clearer indication of validation errors on profile related forms
Adds shared useBootstrapForms method which configures FormHelper with some bootstrap-friendly defaults
Updates Profile related forms to use the shared defaults (to show how it's used, and make it easier to adopt other places later)
