Add `class Formset(Forward)` #1313

We have Self(Forward) which forwards the field's own value.

But this is django-autocomplete-light and Django supports Formsets.

In a Formset, there's a field naming convention (on the id and name attributes) that is roughly form-n-field where form is the name of the form and field the name of the field and n the form number in the set (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).

Formset(Forward) would collect all the values of that field in the formset and submit them as a list. The server side can then use this list conveniently as an exclusion list to prevent, for example, any two forms in the formset having the same selection.

Sure, let's see what a patch looks like!
