Accessibility

An sp-dropdown parent will ensure that the wrapped sp-menu features a role of listbox and contains children with the role option. Upon focusing the sp-dropdown using ArrowDown will also open the menu while throwing focus into first selected (or unselected when none are selected) menu item for easy selecting of a new value.
