modelformset_factory examples in documentation do not specify a field list
Several of the examples for modelformset_factory in the documentation now fail in Django 1.8, because they do not pass a 'fields' or 'exclude' parameter (either directly to the modelformset_factory function, or indirectly by specifying a ModelForm subclass).
For example: https://github.com/django/django/blob/a15aba66f2fc650f70a791fb7fa880cf85cb1229/docs/topics/forms/modelforms.txt#L717
>>> from django.forms.models import modelformset_factory
>>> from myapp.models import Author
>>> AuthorFormSet = modelformset_factory(Author)

I've slightly reshuffled the docs to explain the 'fields' / 'exclude' parameters up-front, rather than in their own section. (I also fixed a reference in the ModelForm docs which was wrongly pointing to that now-deleted section.)
