[html-formfu] create panels for ExtJS

[Mario Minati]

Hello Moritz,

my mind is very active about the Panel, too. 

The idea of making Fieldset a subclass of Panel seems to be problematic as I 
also created a HTML::FormFu::Element::Panel inside the HTML-FormFu-ExtJS 
distribution which actually only renders it's children, so is ignored by 
normal FormFu.

Currently ExtJS renders it's items with
		my $class = "HTML::FormFu::ExtJS::Element::" . $element->type;
		require_class($class);
		$class->render($element)
this would become HTML::FormFu::ExtJS::Element::ExtJS::Panel with 
HTML::FormFu::Element::ExtJS::Panel.

A second problem that came up in my mind is, that Fieldset inherit from Block 
which provides name and nested_name methods.
So maybe it's better to subclass Block for Panel and keep Fieldset as it is.
This way we would have the same inheritance structure in FormFu and in 
FormFu::ExtJS.


Greets,

Mario Minati
