Description

The boolean field doesn't raise a ValidationError when it is required and no data is input. This is because BooleanField's clean method(and it's widget), evaluate to either True or False, False used to evaluate to None, and False was left out of the EMPTY_VALUES list, which is what is checked to see if a field needs to raise a validation error when a field is required.

This breaks one test because a test that used to raise "Value not in options" now raises "this field is required", not sure what the fix for that is.

Marking as a dupe of #5957, I am an idiot.
