Generic edit generic views don't create `fail_silently` messages anymore.

[Simon Charette]

Now deprecated generic create_update function based views (create_object, update_object, delete_object) use to create silently failing success messages when the submitted form was valid.

Was it a design decision to omit this feature for class based equivalents?

If it was deliberately omitted then, since function based views are deprecated, the message framework documentation for the `fail_silently` kwarg should be updated to remove the part where it makes reference to generic views using it internally.

Here's wip patch to backport this feature for class based views that I can attach to a ticket if this get acknowledged as a missing feature. I can also submit a doc revision in the other case.

To the best of my recollection, it wasn't a deliberate decision to omit these messages. It looks like an oversight during development.
