Fixes #43098

What?

Truncate long option strings in SelectControl/CustomSelectControl.

Why?

The components look broken without it.

How?

With standard string-truncating CSS.

Testing Instructions

Can be tested in either Storybook or WP.

Storybook

  1. npm run storybook:dev
  2. In a SelectControl/CustomSelectControl story, add a width to a wrapper div so the options overflow.

WP

  1. npm run dev
  2. In the editor, add a "Post Date" block.
  3. In the Inspector for that block, see the Typography panel section and add a Font Family (SelectControl) and an Appearance (CustomSelectControl) component. Select a long option to make the text overflow.

✅ Tested with width: fit-content on the container
✅ Tested in Chrome/Firefox/Safari

Is there a reason why we're using raw CSS instead of the Truncate component? (I'm ok with both, just curious)

I don't think there is a placement that works in this case with the <select>. The main reason though is for encapsulating the styles within the styled Select export so it can be reused in CustomSelectControl.
