[FIX] web: BasicModel: ignore unknown fields after onchange

It may happen that an onchange returns values for unknown fields in
the view. In that case, the corresponding values need to be ignored
as the postprocessing base on the field type can't be done, which
may lead to errors later on (e.g. when saving).

For example: one2many list in a form view which doesn't display
a many2one field that exists on the related model. If an onchange
on the main form view updates the value of the many2one inside the
one2many, it will crash later on when the user will try to save
(because the value [id, display_name] will be sent to the server).
