[html-formfu] Disabled form field with retain_default and render_processed_value

Hi Kiki,

I've fixed this now, so it should work as you expect - it's available
in svn revision 1009, and will be included in the next cpan release.

You can check the test files to compare the config I used:
    t/bugs/render_processed_value_retain_default.t
    t/bugs/render_processed_value_retain_default.yml

Cheers,
Carl
