This is the old problem of some element types not liking any changes
being made after `$form->process()` is called.

I think it's reasonable, though, for default() to just Do The Right
Thing, and not require the user to call `$form->process` again - so
I've fixed it by overriding value() (which is aliased to default) in
Date.pm, so that it automatically calls the Select menu's default()
methods, if process() has already been called.

There's now a test for this in HTML-FormFu/t/elements/date_default.t
