Adds a label element into form widgets

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

In Screen widgets we have a specialised label element with a specific behaviour when using h1 to h6 styles.

The same would be useful in forms to clearly separate blocks. Currently there is only the container type of field but it has no style attribute.

Maybe only enhancing this container could be considered. But I would rather prefer to have a real container element (at the field level) which would
allow to visually include a set of fields. It would have also a title and a style. And independently we would also have a label element with title and
style that could be put anywhere.

This could be then used with the skip-start and skip-end form attributes to easily build complex forms

What do you think?

It seems to fit in widget refactoring and also in the HTML 5 enhancement
issue (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4299).

Actually it would be rather a 1st step within current implementation.
Also I just had a look at http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_menuitem (link from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4303)
And I'm not convinced so far: it does not work neither in FF nor Chrome (the OOTB context menus appear)

I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6154

I expect to work on it next week, maybe later...
