Fix bug with extend_params function
The OrganisationAgreementSignedForm class has a bug causing it to render different HTML when the page loads to when you subsequently refresh it. This commit proposes a change to the extend_params function to fix it. extend_params, is used by the OrganisationAgreementSignedForm, as well as all the other WTForms field classes we added to wrap GOVUK Frontend components. Fixing it should therefore fix any similar bugs with them. All of these fields send a dict of configuration data to the GOVUK Frontend component when they call it, at render time. This dict is 'JSON-like', meaning it's values can be all the primitives as well as lists and dicts. This also means it can go quite deep. Extending the default configuration The classes have a default dict of this data kept privately in the params variable. They let you change it by passing in an argument called param_extensions on instantiation, after that, through an attribute of the same name and at render time as the same argument (in templates). The extend_params function The param_extensions dict is used as a collection of changes to make to the default params dict. The changes are applied by the extend_params function. Its code deletes part of the param_extensions, a side effect that didn't seem a problem because it isn't used after the function has run. The bug The bug was only with the part of the HTML that got its data from the part of the param_extensions dict that was deleted by extend_params. The class with the bug set param_extensions when the field is instantiated, as part of its parent form definition. My guess is that param_extensions was stored in memory, as part of the form class, and reused when the page refreshed. At that point, extend_params had deleted part of its data, causing the bug.
