[Proposition] `isDirty` or `isChanged` property

[DorijanH]

Issue

A common issue, or a feature if you would, on many different forms is to keep track of the field values and only enable Save or some other CTA button if the values have changed since the form initialization.

Proposed

Consider returning an additional isDirty or isChanged property that would indicate if the value changed from its initial (default) value.

Also consider giving an option to the user to override this default value after validation initialization because most of the time we create inputs using empty strings and then once we fetch data, trigger the change manually.

Calling field.setValue(value) on validationField or setValues(formData, values) that are made just for that purpose will leave IsDirty flag unchecked (if we end up exposing it).

We should also add isDirty helper functino that itterates all fields and returns isDirty state for all fields.
