Description

While working at a Theme, i discovered that the forms differ in their style and structure.
I propose a standard form-structure, so that further styling and look is coherent.
I.e. class definitions ( class="basic-form") are often missing, input-fields vary in size and the layout does not follow a standard structure.

As mentioned in https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/3654e2f8ee3a7f8d6dd6e9dfe8b4184d11d4609a811daa03f6ab2805@%3Cdev.ofbiz.apache.org%3E

I have attached an example patch, which modifies a form defined in FreeMarker to conform it to the forms defined in any *Forms.xml.
Often those forms within FreeMarker templates differ from most other forms in Ofbiz,

I propose a refactoring of these FreeMarker forms, to equalize all forms.
