Added submit() method for generating submit buttons. Flagged the shorthand methods to generate different types of inputs (password, hidden, et cetera) as deprecated and added shorter-hand methods. Example, you can use $__form->password() instead of $__form->passwordInput(). Methods will eventually be updated to throw deprecation warnings and subsequently removed.
