Item13553: Add form-defiition-table template

Motivation

Everytime when I going to define a new form, doing the following (very frustrating - not effective) steps:

• click the wanted web
• click create new topic, name it such MyNewForm
• damm!! forgot again once - what is the dammed structure of the "data-form table"?
• save the empty topic
• Click System-web
• Index
• find the DataForms topic
• Show wiki text
• copy the form-definition table header to clipboard
• click again the wanted web
• click index
• find my previously saved MyNewForm
• click edit
• copy the form definition table header into it
• FINALLY could - add my form defs
• save

Would be nice

• go to the wanted web
• create new topic
• select from the templates instead of the "Default template" something like: "Default Form table template"
• edit (already included the DataForms table-header)
• add my form defs
• save - done

Affects

Imho, affects nothing, only

• need ship one more "default" template topic.
• add the template to the default select-menu in the "create new topic" form.

Could helps users - easing the form-definition, reducing frustration of the beginners.

I started working on this .. It's a good idea. Problem is that the template has to be in the web where you are creating the application. We could possibly add it to Sandbox, and maybe the _default web. Creating it in System web doesn't help much.

Simple fix to add it to NatEdit:
