Description

I think using the default-value of a model-field as the initial value of the newsforms equivalent could be useful. So I added setting defaultsinitial in the formfield()-method of every model-fields.
As I'm not really using this the code is only tested a little, but looks working.

I did not put the code into django.newforms.models.* as I think this should be handled inside the field itself (like all other values). But perhaps some solution could be found to avoid code duplication (DRY).
