feat: ion-select autoscroll to last selection

• I agree to follow the Code of Conduct.
• I have searched for existing issues that already include this feature request, without success.

Describe the Feature Request

If an option is selected, ion-select will automatically scroll to the position in the ion-select-options list when opening the selection window.

Describe the Use Case

When presented with a ion-select that has multiple pages worth of scroll, it is difficult and tedious to get back to the last place selected in the list.

Describe Preferred Solution

This feature should be enabled by default. It could be a boolean property on ion-select components if developers do not want that feature.

Describe Alternatives

I plan to make a component that outright skips using ion-select (see brentspector/reborn-pokepedia#14) and instead provides a searchbar over a list of ion-items. However, the all-in-one functionality of an ion-select (plus the integration with Capacitor) makes ion-select much more attractive.
