Title: Make the Radio and Checkboxes field types subclasses of the List type so...

... that getOptions() does not need to be repeated three times.

I realize that there is a minor difference between JFormFieldList::getOptions and the other two classes. But I reckon that it doesn't actually make any difference in practice.
