1353	[patch] Form fields should check a field's `null` option for setting `is_required`	Tom Tobin <korpios@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"Form fields currently check a Field instance's `blank` attribute for setting the `is_required` parameter (used during form validation); the `null` attribute should be tested as well, or else certain non-string fields where `null` would apply rather than `blank` (e.g., `DateTimeField`) will not be allowed to save with a null value.

The attached patch adds a simple check for a `Field` instance's `null` attribute when setting `is_required`.
