changed FormHelper::secure() and FormHelper::end() to support attributes in the hidden CSRF-protection tags that are being generated for SecurityComponent to allow specification of additional html attributes like HTML5s "form" attribute. This allows separation of Form instantiation/controls and form data - for instance within html tables

improved tests for testing against additional attributes for Form::secure()

improved tests for testing against additional attributes for Form::end()

removed array cast, fixed test

fixed docblock format

format

Fixed a bug, this won't work as some forms are just empty
