Description:
------------
Hi, I just encountered another issue with boolean fields:

I defined two fields of a table as being boolean, which so far works fine.
Somewhere else in my application I use the same DataObject / Formbuilder but with these two boolean fields not being rendered (but still being defined as boolean, using the booleanFields array).

But: actually it still gets written into the database with the default value of 0 (overwriting possible existing values) instead of being ignored, what in my eys should be the case, because the fields are not rendered.

Test script:
---------------
foreach ($this->booleanFields as $boolField) {
if (!isset($values[$boolField])) {
$this->_do->$boolField = 0;
}
}

Formbuilder.php, processForm() method

i think here it should be checked, whether a field is being rendered, before giving it a default value
