Freeform default button label (Was: [Twisted-web] using freeformbind_* instead of subclass TypedInterface)

One usecase is for example having a message form and having one button
for 'save' and another one for 'save and send'.

I think "Submit" would be a much better default.

It might be useful to be able to add extra buttons to the form but in
most cases I find it better to have one submit button and a series of
hyperlinks css styled as buttons.

For example a form that saves a DB record at...
http://www.example.com/events/1/edit
...would save its contents to recordID=1.
A "cancel" button would link to... http://www.example.com/events/1/ ...a
"delete" button would link directly to...
http://www.example.com/events/1/delete
...which presents a confirmation form. Finally a "duplicate" button
links to... http://www.example.com/events/new/?id=1

I'm sure there are usecases for multiple submit buttons but I haven't
yet needed them.
