Within the SelectPanel, focus will now be controlled using active-descendant instead of true focus movement. This allows the user to keep their cursor in the text input, while using up/down/enter keyboard navigation to select/deselect items.

I had to make a few tweaks within focusZone to optimize behavior when items are filtered. The original implementation didn't fully take changing DOM into account.

I also had to disable the focusZone that is naturally created by AnchoredOverlay within SelectPanel because it was causing odd behavior due to the overlap in focusZones. It currently doesn't handle focus well if you click on an item, because up/down arrows do nothing at that point, but hitting tab brings you right back to the text input. We may need to revisit this down the road, but overall the new setup feels really good.
