Description:
------------
I have made a couple of changes that allow you to use the second parameter of HTML_QuickForm::freeze() to set whether it is persistant or not.

That way people can easily say for all elements: I do _not_ want persistant freeze for _all_ elements, rather than calling it on all elements.

This is really useful with the smarty renderer, when you want to use one template/page for viewing and editing.

Test script:
---------------
$form =& new HTML_Quickform;

$foo =& $form->addElement(...);
$bar =& $form->addElement(...);
// more elements...

if (!$edit_mode) {
// We are not editing this time. We want to freeze the
// elements of the form and _not_ print out the hidden
// elements that contain the values
$form->freeze(null, false);
}

Expected result:
----------------
Only the values of all of the elements will be printed when they are rendered, _not_ the hidden elements (because we are using false for second parameter, true is the default).

I will send the patch or paste it here if you want this feature.
