[Feature Request] Mention existance of the fields property in the Form component

Form

Description

Suppose I want to do something to a form-item in a form. I know only its prop name but don't have a ref to it. If I have a ref to the form I could access its form-item like this:

this.$refs.form.fields[prop]

Than I could invoke clearValidate for instance for a single field. But this is somewhat wrong because existence of the fields property in form is not documented. Maybe add some getter for form-items to form or mention fields property in docs?

Could you give an example why you can't add a ref to a certain <el-form-item>?

form.fields is not meant to be exposed to users.

Suppose I have a lot of <el-form-item>s. Then some of the fields change externally and I want to manipulate a subset of those related <el-form-item>s. I would have to write ref for every field and then I would have to come up with a way to convert a field to a ref name. In short I want to manipulate these items massively using loops and not individually, but also not all at once.

Actually I want to invoke clearValidate on certain fields. Maybe we could add a parameter to this form method like in validateField so we can do something like clearValidateField('prop')
