Description

Validation of a formset with a unique_together doesn't take deleted children into account.

Method is_valid of forms/formset.py::BaseFormSet should take in account deleted children forms to prevent a wrong validation error.

Simple models.py: 

from django.db import models
from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _


class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=64, verbose_name=_("Title"))


class Language(models.Model):
    language = models.CharField(max_length=64, verbose_name=_("Language"))


class Translator(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=64, verbose_name=_("Name"))
    book = models.ForeignKey(Book, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    language = models.ForeignKey(Language, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    class Meta:
        unique_together = ('book', 'language')

Simple admin.py: 

from django.contrib import admin

from .models import Book, Language, Translator


class TranslatorInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Translator


@admin.register(Book)
class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [TranslatorInline]


@admin.register(Language)
class LanguageAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    pass

Wrong validation error:

Thanks for this ticket, this looks simpler then swapping unique values (#25139) but it's also tricky because unique checking exists at the database level. Tentatively accepted. Would you like to work on PoC?
