closes #1963

Walkthrough

The select component now supports true, 'row', and 'button' values for clearable. The part-of-speech selector uses row-level clearing. The search filter displays a clear button when its value is nonempty, and clicking the button clears the value.

Here's an option where it's in the dropdown:

I put a divider to make it clear that it's not one of the actual options. We could also show an x icon in the row I guess?

final version, I removed the black background on the clear button:

I'd also be fine to just remove it and so you need to click in to the dropdown to clear it.

Also added a clear to search

This is my personal favorite. No X in the bar and no X in the "None" row (though that's less important to me):

I think clearing a selection is a rare and very intentional decision, which argues against having a special top-level X for doing it in a single click.

The X for clearing search is great 👍🏻
