[patch] Add id attribute to change list form to easily look up it in javascript.

[Alex Dedul]

Title says it all. One thing this patch changes more is opts.object_name.lower to opts.module_name in bodyclass block, because opts.module_name is exactly opts.object_name.lower.

Form could be accessed and as document.forms[0], but that looks a bit obscure, accessing by id is cleaner.
