docs, `select` and friends with `multiple=true` include a blank string.
[Jonas Baumann & Yves Senn] The submitted params from a select with `multiple: true` look as follows: ``` {post: {category: [""]}} {post: {category: ["", "Category 1", "Category 2"]}} ``` This is a follow up to #1552.

# To prevent this the helper generates an auxiliary hidden field before
