SlugField not correctly autopopulated / has no max_length

Description

The SlugField returns a forms.CharField, but does not set the max_length attribute.

That means that in newforms-admin auto-population of the field doesn't work. As well as many other Bad Things.

I think that subclassing the CharField is the way to go here. If not, the alternative method (copy-paste bits out of the CharField class) is also a trivial patch.

Just as a point of reference it looks like r6056 in newforms-admin solved this. Once that branch gets merged in this ticket can be closed.

This should not be closed without the regression tests being committed.

(In [6065]) Fixed #3557 -- Made SlugField inherit from CharField so that its max_length is properly set. Removed get_manipulator_field_objs method since it's already provided by CharField. Thanks, Russell Cloran.
