PR seems merge-ready to me. There's been some discussion on the ML thread; I'll wait a bit for merge to see if Loic or Anssi or anyone else wants to weigh in on the PR.

Fixed #23865 -- documented how to assign errors to a field in Model.clean()

Also added a unit test wit the simpler syntax which we have documented,
where the dictionary values are strings.
