Returns an HTML FORM element.

### Options:

- `type` Form method defaults to POST
- `action` The controller action the form submits to, (optional).
- `url` The url the form submits to. Can be a string or a url array. If you use 'url'
you should leave 'action' undefined.
- `default` Allows for the creation of Ajax forms. Set this to false to prevent the default event handler.
Will create an onsubmit attribute if it doesn't not exist. If it does, default action suppression
will be appended.
- `onsubmit` Used in conjunction with 'default' to create ajax forms.
- `inputDefaults` set the default $options for FormHelper::input(). Any options that would
be set when using FormHelper::input() can be set here. Options set with `inputDefaults`
can be overridden when calling input()
- `encoding` Set the accept-charset encoding for the form. Defaults to `Configure::read('App.encoding')`
