* PloneFormMailer.py, config.py, schema.py, i18n/pfm-de.po,
i18n/pfm-fr.po, i18n/pfm.pot,
skins/PloneFormMailer/formmailer.cpt: Added before_script
feature. This python script is called before template is rendered
and is supposed to pre-fill form field values. There is new
Scripts tab in Formulator instance (accessible from 'modify form
(zmi)' link). Example script is provided in new PFM instance.
The example script simulates behaviour of PFM before this change
- prefill member's email and fullname. Idea and most of code is
taken from PortalTransport product.
