[V2] `required` attribute should be passed down to native input element

Feature request

Bring back the ability to pass the required attribute down to the native input element.

In V1.x users of react-select could rely on the required attribute being passed down to the native input element. This allowed for using native validation for required select fields when used in a form element. In V2 that has been removed and now forms that use required select fields can submit without being properly validated by the browser (at least to cover the required validation use case). This is an important feature that our team relied on until we can build out more robust validation.

@buesing I think that you’re referring to the v1 documentation. The required property was specifically removed in v2 as stated in the prop update guide. I would love to see support for required to be added again. I’d also appreciate hearing the reasoning behind removing it in the first place.
