#20867: Allow Form.clean() to target specific fields when raising 
ValidationError.
-----------------------------+--------------------
     Reporter:  loic84       |      Owner:  nobody
         Type:  New feature  |     Status:  new
    Component:  Forms        |    Version:  master
     Severity:  Normal       |   Keywords:
 Triage Stage:  Unreviewed   |  Has patch:  0
Easy pickings:  0            |      UI/UX:  0
-----------------------------+--------------------
 The goal would be to unlock the following API:

 {{{
 def clean(self):
     errors = {}
     if condition1:
         errors['field1'] = ValidationError('message1', code='code')
     if condition2:
         errors['field2'] = ValidationError('message2', code='code')
     raise ValidationError(errors)
 }}}

 Most of the groundwork has been done for #20199.

 We would need to document passing a `dict` to `ValidationError`, just like
 we already document passing a `list` in
 [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/validation/#raising-
 validationerror ref/forms/validation/#raising-validationerror].

 This would probably deprecate or reduce the need for the pattern discussed
 in [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/validation/#form-
 subclasses-and-modifying-field-errors ref/forms/validation/#form-
 subclasses-and-modifying-field-errors].

 Refs #20199 #16986.
