`SelectDateWidget` in required field renders an invalid HTML. According to
standard https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/sec-forms.html#placeholder-label-
option every `select` with `required` attribute must have a placeholder
option, i.e. first option must have an empty string as a value. That is
not a case of `SelectDateWidget`.
=== Example ===
{{{
#!python
from django import forms
class FooForm(forms.Form):
a_date = forms.DateField(widget=forms.SelectDateWidget)
form = FooForm()
str(form) # >>> ...<select name="a_date_month" required
id="id_a_date_month"><option value="1">January</option>...
}}}
