[development] Hidden required select field with default value

[Randy Fay]

I think you have to make your own validation function instead of using the
one that comes by default and supports #required.

Use #access (not #hidden) to hide the field.

Then in your validator, check to see whether it's OK that the field is not
filled in, and notify as needed.
