✨(Select) add classic variant with placeholder support

- Use FieldVariant enum for variant prop
- Add styled placeholder for classic mode (.c__select__placeholder)
- Label rendered outside wrapper in classic mode
- Compact height in classic mode
- Add unit tests for mono and multi Select
- Add Storybook stories
