New description:

 This PR adds a new class that can be used by themers and extenders to
 style selects or dropdown elements. Right now the experimental form block
 doesn't have dropdowns in it, but many extenders do, so I wanted to cover
 them too in line with the work being done at
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/70378/

 We are adding a new class wp-element-select the same way we do for the
 button element, since it's less disruptive than styling the select element
 directly and can be slowly adopted by plugins as they see fit

 This one is a little hard to test without having a native block that has a
 dropdown in it. What I did was:

 1. alter a third party block to have the wp-element-select class.
 2. added the following to my theme.json file:

 {{{

 "elements": {
                         "select": {
                                 "color": {
                                         "text": "red",
                                         "background": "blue"
                                 }
                         },
 }

 }}}
