Description
BaseFormSet's ManagementForm is currently entirely generated in BaseFormSet.management_form which makes it hard to customize, especially since BaseFormSet is designed to work in a very particular way with a JS front which prevents other possible but more exotic behavior.
I propose to make ManagementForm creation more flexible by adding a management_form_class class attribute and constructor argument to BaseFormSet as well as a formset_factory argument and add a get_management_form_kwargs method to ManagementForm to easier alternative implementations of ManagementForm/

This looks extremely niche, and you can always override the
management_formproperty if you've already fallen down that deep rabbit hole. Every new option (even a small one) makes it harder to maintain and more confusing for newcommers ("Death by a Thousand Cuts").Please follow triaging guidelines with regards to wontfix tickets and take this to DevelopersMailingList, if you don't agree.
