Should be able to define fieldsets on a Form subclass

[erikcw]

You should be able to define fieldsets (and the other options) by subclassing the form instead of just by passing options on initialization.

For example:

var UserForm = Backbone.Form.extend({
    template: _.template($('#formTemplate').html()),

    schema: {
        title:      { type: 'Select', options: ['Mr', 'Mrs', 'Ms'] },
        name:       'Text',
        email:      { validators: ['required', 'email'] },
        password:   'Password'
    },

    fieldsets: {
       {legend: "my fieldset", fields: ["title", "name", "email", "password"]}
    }
});

The fieldsets object will be ignored when building the form. Each of the constructor options should also be available for setting a subclass default.
