For char/text fields, the server can return false or "" (empty string) depending if the field isn't set in db (NULL) or set to the empty string. This makes no difference in the UI, but it matters when evaluating modifiers. Before this commit, the value of char/text fields was automatically set to the empty string if it was falsy, as it doesn't impact the UI, and it is cleaner type-wise. Unfortunately, we cannot do that for the eval context, as we must be able to make the difference between False and "" evaluating modifiers. A solution would have been to stop fallbacking on the empty string when the value was false, but we wanted to keep the clean API. So this commit fixes the issue by keeping an internal structure in Record to track the exact values we received from the server for those fields, and use that structure to generate the eval context.
