[FIX] web: list: multi edition: force write same value

Let's assume an editable list view with a many2one field and 2
records: the first one has value 1, the second value 2. The user
selects all records and wants to set their many2one to value 1. It
edits the first one, sets 1 and validates the confirm dialog.

Before this rev., it didn't save anything because the 'reference'
record (the one used to edit), didn't actually changed, as we reset
the same value.

This rev. forces the write the new value on all selected records in
that case.
