Field definition should include field size and separate html attributes

Aurel Drăguţ came with a great idea in order to allow developers to build 2-column layouts, 3-column layouts, etc in their forms.

Just by allowing the developer to place an extra class on the parent form element

<div class='form-group'>

we would be able to easily build panels that look like this:

This would imply a certain syntax change, so the change should come at the same with @cristiantone 's proposition to separate the HTML attributes sent to the input/textarea/select/etc.

Here’s the new proposed syntax for the “text” field type:

$this->crud->addFields([
  // mandatory
  'name' => 'name',
  'type' => 'text',
  'label' => 'Name',
  // optional
  'optionalAttributes' => [
    'disabled' => 'disabled',
    'style' => 'border: 1px solid red',
    ...
  ],
  'parentAttributes' => [
     'class' => 'col-md-6',
     'style' => 'border-top: 1px solid #eee; margin-top: 10px;'
  ]
]);

@Ghitu , @cristiantone , @mariusconstantin2503 , what do you think?

Done. Works in CRUD 2.1 like this:

$this->crud->addFields([
  // mandatory
  'name' => 'name',
  'type' => 'text',
  'label' => 'Name',
  // optional
  'attributes' => [
    'disabled' => 'disabled',
    'style' => 'border: 1px solid red',
    ...
  ],
  'wrapperAttributes' => [
     'class' => 'col-md-6',
     'style' => 'border-top: 1px solid #eee; margin-top: 10px;'
  ]
]);

But if I want to change custom field width? … write new field type?)
