Svelte 5: <select> options with object references.  #11403

Describe the bug

Consider the following:

<script>
const options = [
	{text: "Text 1"},
	{text: "Text 2"},
	{text: "Text 3"},
]

let selected = $state(options[0])
</script>
<select bind:value={selected}>
	{#each options as option}
		<option value={option}>{option.text}</option>
	{/each}
</select>

The select element will not correctly display options[0] as being selected. This is likely due to an identity-check being used against a Proxy in Svelte internals.

To workaround this, wrap the options array in a $state rune. Using $state.frozen will not work.

I'm not sure if this is intended behaviour. If so, perhaps we should document this edge case with the workaround.
