fixes #14835

The form's default values are an empty object {} when defaults are not provided by .set(). Therefore, the .value() getter should return a deep partial of the schema type as all values are initially undefined.

Plus, deep partial .set() allows setting some, but not all values initially.

Thank you! For value() this makes sense, for set(...) it's debateable because it may be better to require you to provide everything that's, well, required.

You're not really validating on .set(), though. Sometimes forms only have one initial value set. And having to provide the entire form, including a bunch of empty strings/undefined is more cumbersome.

If the user tries to submit the form with the initial values, it would make sense the validation would fail.

fixes sveltejs#14835 

The form's default values are an empty object `{}` when defaults are not
provided by `.set()`. Therefore, the `.value()` getter should return a
deep partial of the schema type as all values are initially undefined.

Plus, deep partial `.set()` allows setting _some_, but not _all_ values
initially.
