[html-formfu] Model HashRef zeroing of all values

When a Model HashRef is used to set the form defaults, any values
that were set in the original config/populate are overwritten
even if there is no key for that item in the defaults hash.
I have modified one of the standard tests to show this up - patch
attached.
I tried stripping the code in HTML::FormFu::Model::HashRef default_values
to not undef all existing values at the start of processing (patch
attached), but this has side effects if a form is re-used - and so
breaks one test in t/model/hashref_create.t
I suppose one solution is to stash all the existing values at the
process stage or the first time into HTML::FormFu::Model::HashRef
default_values and use those to reset the form each time into
default_values, or to live with the behavioural change.
Oh, and in case its not clear as to why this is a problem, I have all
my forms with the submit buttons defined like this:-
- label: ''
value: Edit
name: submit
type: Submit
- label: ''
value: Cancel
name: cancel
type: Submit
Those buttons both appear with the legend "Submit" if the model kills
off the values...
Nigel.
