check_box_group, radio_button_group helpers

[nesquena]

Helpers for check_box_group, radio_button_group which create a set of checkboxes or radio buttons for a form. Pass in a set of options (similar to select helper now) and it returns a set of the checkboxes or radio buttons. add tests as well.

f.radio_button_group :attr, :caption => "...", :options => "same as select options"
f.check_box_group   :attr, :caption => "...", :options => "same as select options"

There's one thing we might be missing from what @nesquena proposed and it's the caption. Did you mean to have something like a fieldset with a legend Nathan?

EDIT: We should also consider :uncheck_value => '0' on check_boxes_group to make it the same as the check_box helper?

I'll update the docs tomorrow.

No other AbstractFormBuilder helper shows caption, so why should these? I intended f.*_group builders to work like f.select. Actually field_set_tag works outside FormBuilder and has nothing to do with controls.

Also check_boxes_group doesn't need :uncheck_value => '0' because it generates html which sends an array to params: empty or with some values. Originally hidden input was needed to send a zero to params if the only checkbox was not checked.

@ujifgc makes sense. Let's leave it as it is then. Here're the docs. Thanks! :)
