Add <form and </form to $openmatch and $closematch, respectively, in Parser.php

Currently, users of SimpleForms cannot produce pages that validate. The reason is that the form tag is forced by the parser into paragraph mode. The <form> tag isn't allowed inside paragraphs. Moreover, the paragraph tag also ends up being closed incorrectly. Here's a slightly doctored example:

{{#form: 
{{#input: type = hidden | name  = title | value = Completed form}} 
{{#input: type = hidden | name  = formmailer | value = formmailer}}
{{{!}}
! align=right {{!}} Test:
{{!}} {{#input: type = text | name  = test }}
{{!}}}
}}

With the 1.11.0 MediaWiki, I get this:

<p>
<form action="/blah" id="sf-47a8f52225ef1"><input type="hidden" name="title" value="Completed form"/> 
<input type="hidden" name="formmailer" value="formmailer"/>
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th align="right"> Test:
</th><td> <input type="text" name="test"/>
</td></tr></table></form>

That's not valid HTML. With the fix (see attachment), I get this:

<form action="/~lesha/us13/index.php" id="sf-47a8fd25c4e8f"><input type="hidden" name="title" value="Completed form"/> 
<input type="hidden" name="formmailer" value="formmailer"/>
<table>
<tr>
<th align="right"> Test:
</th><td> <input type="text" name="test"/>
</td></tr></table></form>

I think this fix shouldn't have any negative side effects.
