in django forms.ModelForm types, the select > option value attribute is usually set to the primary key of the model object (typically an integer)

This commit converts field.value to string to ensure the if condition for adding selected to the <option> html is satisfied.

When using any of the `formset_factory`s to generate multiple forms, the select fields lose their values if the form is returned with an error.

This happens because the template renders `field.name` instead of `field.html_name`.

`field.name` is the same for all forms, `field.html_name` is unique for each form instance
in forms.ModelForm types, the `select > option` value attribute
is usually set to the primary key of the model object (usually an int)

This commit converts `field.value` to string to ensure the `if` condition
    for adding selected to the <option> is met.

Added tests to better demonstrate the issue

Hi @io2

Sorry for taking some time to get to this. There's a few things going on with this at the moment.

The first is that we should probably mirror the logic from checkboxes and radios. There are a few other edge cases we should look to capture. See this line here.

<input type="checkbox" class="{{ css_container.checkboxselectmultiple }}"{% if choice.0 in field.value or choice.0|stringformat:"s" in field.value or choice.0|stringformat:"s" == field.value|default_if_none:""|stringformat:"s" %} checked="checked"{% endif %} name="{{ field.html_name }}" id="id_{{ field.html_name }}_{{ forloop.counter }}" value="{{ choice.0|unlocalize }}" {{ field.field.widget.attrs|flatatt }}>

Secondly is that this can be improved using the new optgroups filter in django-crispy-forms which will simplify this logic here significantly. See django-crispy-forms/django-crispy-forms#1127
