Added top-level form errors to complement specific ones (Bug #1262483)

Pieforms now adds a global error message if there are any validation errors
in a form, in addition to the messages beside each element. This is
modified from the existing jserrormessage

Title:
  Forms should consistently have errors above the top-level heading

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  If you submit a form with validation errors, most of the time a message comes up above the <h1> on that page warning you that there are errors. However a few pages do not have this feature and only have error messages beside the invalid inputs.
  Consistency is important to users of screen readers, who may assume that a form has submitted correctly if the error message does not appear where they expect.
