Refs #32339 -- Restructured outputting HTML form docs.

In the topic doc, promoted the Reusable form templates section.

In the reference, re-grouped and promoted the default __str__()
rendering path, and then gathered the various as_*() helpers
subsequently.

Thanks to David Smith for review.

 .. admonition:: Additional form template furniture
 
     Don't forget that a form's output does *not* include the surrounding
     ``<form>`` tags, or the form's ``submit`` control. You will have to provide
     these yourself.
 
+Reusable form templates
+-----------------------
+
+The HTML output when rendering a form is itself generated via a template. You
+can control this by creating an appropriate template file and setting a custom
+:setting:`FORM_RENDERER` to use that
+:attr:`~django.forms.renderers.BaseRenderer.form_template_name` site-wide. You
+can also customize per-form by overriding the form's
+:attr:`~django.forms.Form.template_name` attribute to render the form using the
+custom template, or by passing the template name directly to
+:meth:`.Form.render`.
+
+The example below will result in ``{{ form }}`` being rendered as the output of
+the ``form_snippet.html`` template.

+In your templates:
+

+            {{ field.errors }}
+            {{ field.label_tag }} {{ field }}
+        </div>
+    {% endfor %}
+
+Then you can configure the :setting:`FORM_RENDERER` setting:

+        ...
+
+… or for a single render of a form instance, passing in the template name to
+the :meth:`.Form.render`. Here's an example of this being used in a view::
