Type errors in DRF serializer mutation

[patrick91]

Right now we return a list of errors like this:

[{
  "field": "x",
  "errors": ["a"]
}]

it might be nicer to type them like this:

{
  "errors": {
    "x": ["a"]
  }
}

I'll send a PR in the next few weeks :)

@patrick91 what about error type in your example? I assume it will be GenericScalar?

Right now ErrorType:

type ErrorType {
  field: String!
  messages: [String!]!
}

To support nested errors we could extend it like this:

type ErrorType {
  field: String!
  messages: [String!]
  errors: ErrorType
}

I'll rewrite the implementation of the errors for the serializer mutation

I assume you will need to rewrite django forms errors too to make error type consistent across the project.
