Add a way to clear selection with `cy.select()`

See original GitHub issue

This Stack Overflow question points out that cy.select() can’t clear a selection, and apparently, neither can commands like cy.clear(): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56340978/how-do-i-clear-a-select-input-using-cypress

Things that should work, but don’t:

cy.select([]) should cause no elements to be selected
cy.clear() with a <select> subject should cause no elements to be selected

Also, maybe cy.select() or cy.select(undefined) should also clear the selection.

Hi, is this issue still open and available for grabs?

Still returning “cy.select() failed because it could not find a single <option> with value or text matching: ``” for me on select multiple (trying .select([]), .select(null), .clear(), all fail)
