select is a replaced element, but for Web compat we need
to include the text of option elements in innerText.
The new text is intended to match the behavior of Gecko,
which in turn is very close to the legacy IE/Edge behavior.

Fixes rocallahan/innerText-spec#5

@jfkthame are you in the spec's Acks? If not, which name do you prefer?

Hmmm. I suppose optgroup and option should only be special-cased if they are in a select?

Probably? What do browsers do?

@zcorpan what's the plan here? Add acks, add tests, merge? Or back off this change since it only matches 1/4 browsers, apparently?

I think we can merge this and see if browsers align with this. There is a small benefit of this approach over the WebKit/Edge 14.14393 behavior in that it is closer to IE, where innerText has existed for the longest time, so maybe there is Web content expecting IE-like behavior. I should add more tests for this as well.

@zcorpan LGTM then. Can you add the acks? Will let you decide whether to merge before or after adding tests.
