#3457: newforms needs error_text for fields

Right now, the only field type that allows custom error messages is
RegexField. For those of us that cannot display errors next to their
respective field (for whatever reason), having 6 "This field is required."
messages in a row just confuses users.
I propose adding error_text to the base Field definition. Adding a simple
{{{
#!python
self.error_text = error_text or u'This field is required.'
}}}
The only design decision I see that needs to be made is how to handle
fields that have multiple error messages, e.g., the min/max errors on
IntegerField. Perhaps arguments would work there, too: max_error_text,
min_error_text.
