Feature Request: Support for Custom CSS Frameworks

It would be great to have the ability to easily integrate custom CSS frameworks or styles with django-formset. Currently, the project supports major frameworks like Bootstrap and Tailwind, but many developers might want to use their own styling or a less common CSS framework.

Proposed Solution

• Introduce a way for developers to define their own renderers using custom templates or stylesheets.
• Provide documentation on how users can create and register their own form renderers.

Benefits

• Increased flexibility for developers to use django-formset in projects with unique design requirements.
• Encourage the community to contribute additional renderers for various frameworks, enriching the library's ecosystem.

This feature could significantly expand the usability of django-formset for users with non-standard design needs.

Actually, django-formset was designed to be CSS framework agnostic.

In https://django-formset.fly.dev/form-renderer/ , I documented how to write your own renderer.

Moreover, all supplied widgets do what I name "style pilfering", meaning that they extract the styles from a given native HTML input element and apply them to the webcomponent replacing the latter. For that reason django-formset ships with almost no extra CSS.

If you have a use case where you want to integrate your custom CSS framework into django-formset, but you are stuck beause you can't override the form renderer the way you want, then that's a different story. In such a case please let me know where that happens.

What you can do is to style your native HTML< input > elements and then use that as a starting point for one of the widgets provided by django-formset. I would be interested how my library behaves in such a case.
