Add filter to selectSingle type (TCA)

Description
It is possible to filter selectMultipleSideBySide .
It is not possible to filter singleSingle
Suggestion¶
Add configurable option to make single select list filterable. The functionality is already there (see SelectBoxFilter.ts).
If this is then used and the size set to a value > 1, it would make a large number of items in select lists more usable.
Note: As alternative, it is possible to use selectMultipleSideBySide with filtering - but if only one element should be selected, the usability is not so great as there is no visual hint that only one should be selected (except that you get feedback once you select too many, but not before) and it is overly complex for the simple purpose of only selecting one element.

selectMultipleSideBySide can be used with maxitems = 1. This way one gets the functionality.
Even if there is no visual hint, I had the experience that one quickly catches on to the fact that only one item is allowed. Also I find it more user friendly using selectMultipleSideBySide.
I don't really see the need anymore for this. I have been using selectMultipleSideBySide a lot where only one item is expected and it has not really bothered me and I heard no complaints. I don't know if I was too nitpicky before or just got used to it.
Since there hasn't been a lot of interest in this (1 watcher, no comments, no patches) I would like to close now in favor of more pressing issues. If someone feels this is important, they could reopen and create a patch.
