------------------------------------------+------------------------
It is possible to easily create a form which does not provide expected
behavior. If a form is created with `empty_permitted=True`, it still
renders a required attribute into its inputs, although it clearly
shouldn't.
{{{
#!python
from django import forms
class FooForm(forms.Form):
foo = forms.CharField()
unicode(FooForm(empty_permitted=True))
>>> u'<tr><th><label for="id_foo">Foo:</label></th><td><input id="id_foo"
name="foo" type="text" required /></td></tr>'
}}}
I suggest to disable `use_required_attribute` if `empty_permitted` is
enabled and/or raise exception if both attributes are set up
contradictory. Even though `empty_permitted` is not a documented
attribute, incorrect usage should be limited if possible.
