newforms admin: decouple TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID?

[Rubic]

I've not been following the newforms admin branch, but I
wondered if it could be decoupled from reliance upon
TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID == ''

It's often useful to have something like 'BADDATA' assigned
to TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID during development/testing
because such text easy to scan unforseen side effects, both visually
and via a simple text search.

Hi Jeff,

A change like this would be a bit out of the scope of the
newforms-admin branch, but I can see your point. I think the long-term
solution would be to refactor the way TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID
works, rather than special-case it for the admin site. (How to
refactor it, exactly? I don't know -- it just feels hackish to me.)
