Feature Request: Add maxOptions prop

Prop to restrict the number of results

We need a way to restrict the number of results rendered on the Select/Async select components.

Use case

This is extremely useful if the number of options is too high and if someone wants to limit the items being displayed to improve performance.

API

Add maxOptions optional prop for Select/AsyncSelect which takes a number.

Hi @Chopinsky @nithinpeter

I needed this too, so I pushed this : https://github.com/JedWatson/react-select/pull/3229

Actually, I need it on a non-async select because sometimes I have > 10 000 options, and for performance reason I want to limit the number of shown options, and let the user type to find more …

Greetings, I believe the use case for this would be best suitable as a new prop in filterOptions

• The select should only be responsible for the number of options after filtering
• The ordering of the results would likely need to be defined which exists as another Feature Request so it is likely these two would be related.
