Disable client-side validation on credit_note forms

* HTML5 browsers have some clevers to do client-side validation of
forms
* Django activates this by default for certain field types
* However, in this case, there are three forms on this page. We rely
on two of them being invalid in order to figure out what processing
to do.
* So we need to disable the client-side validation.

Speaker App
===========

The ``speaker`` app allows speakers to set up their profile, prior to or as
part of the proposal submission phase. The **dashboard** is the means through
which speakers manage their own profiles.

We are planning to make the Speaker model more pluggable so, if you have
particular fields you'd like your speakers to fill out, you'll be able to
customize things more easily.

Additional Speakers
-------------------

Because ``symposion`` supports additional speakers being attached to a
proposal or actual presentation, it has the notion of a ``Speaker`` that is
not yet a ``User`` on the site. For this reason, a ``Speaker`` may have a
NULL ``user`` field (hopefully temporarily) as well as an ``invite_email``
and ``invite_token`` field for the invitation sent to the additional speaker
to join.
