Allow pasting multiple lines into the search field for tokenization (#5806)

* Fixes #3712 Allowing Pasting tags from spreadsheet

I was trying to make an easy way for clients to copy and paste tags from a spreadsheet, but I was unable to do this because select2's use of a 'search' input would remove all newline characters from the pasted input. replacing the search text input with a textarea removes this limitation.

* Fixes bug and broken tests

* Missed one spot

* Fixes tests posibly?

* reformat long lines

* Reference options instead of searchElement directly

* make input come first in selector

* Make textarea the default rather than a configurable

* fix weird whitespace

* missing a quote

* Fix styling to be closer to the default for search boxes

This still has an issue with overflows and how the browser will
completely shift focus rather than slowly move it character by
character, but this is something which we can work out at a later
time and shouldn't break things for now.

* Fix tests expecting to find an input

* Skip autocomplete property tests

These tests currently fail in the automated test runner because they
are checking the `autocomplete` property on the `<textarea>` DOM
element. This attribute is widely supported across our supported
browsers, but the property on the JS DOM element has only recently
started to be supported. As a result, the virtual browser used by the
test runner does not support this property and cannot read it for the
tests.

* Fix placeholder test returning incorrect width

The width was incorrect for the placeholders because it was using the
default browser style instead of the ones from Select2. As a result, it
was coming back with a width of 104 because it was at 100% of 100px
with the default 2px padding all around that is browser by the browser
user style sheets. Now that it is being placed inside of the proper
container, we can see that the expected styles are being applied.

* Introduce new class to better handle the clear button

This new class allows us to not have to apply the padding for the
clear icon when the clear icon is not being displayed.

* Update test with proper width of the search box
