Placeholder not displaying for empty string

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When a formControl is passed into ng-select with a value of '', placeholder is not getting displayed.

Describe the solution you’d like I think that placeholder should be displayed when '' is the current value, or placeholder should be passed a function that lets the user decide when placeholder should be displayed or not.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered Constructing a formControl with a default of null solves this, but it would make sense for '' to be treated the same way.

Thanks!
