Add Select2, Django Auto Complete Light or similar to search/add foreign keys. Multiples checkbox.

Hi!

Description

One of the issues in forms outside admin is with combo boxes that display a foreign key i.e. a City. In order to find it Select2 may be helpful and in order to enter a new foreign key i.e. a new city or a new name in the same combo box DAL (Django autocomplete light) may be needed.
In DAL case it is more common that the combo box appears empty even when there are records to show.

One more case is how to select with multiple checkbox in a template to delete or apply an action to several records like the admin does to delete records but for outside admin.
