Provide form.$focused boolean state

[jaythomas]

It would be nice to be able to tell from the form whether a field is blurred or focused.

Use case: I want to access and process a user's information as they type it, but I don't want to display an error to the user unless form.someValue.$blurred is true. Asking the model options to updateOn: 'blur' would prevent me from accessing someValue until the field is blurred.

I am aware this can be accomplished from a custom directive, but am hoping this is a useful enough feature for others to garner their interest.

"Blurred" is already available as $touched. As for focus, I think we didn't want to burden the core with this, as it's not difficult to implement via custom directive and it's not super frequently needed feature.

+1 $focus($focused) is an useful flag
