0.1.3: clear the model before announcing a make change

Switching make from Volkswagen to Suzuki reported
{make: "suzuki", model: "golf"} — the old model against the new make.
makeChanged() called notify() first and only cleared the dependent select
after the fetch, so onChange consumers wrote a vehicle that does not
exist straight into their form state.

The model select is now emptied BEFORE the announcement, so the reported
value is honest at every instant.
