select tag added to each new option line in select list

[John_W_B]

Steps to reproduce

paste a
select list into Text editor. Switch to Visual.

each

<option>

line gets

<select>

tags automatically added, which breaks the form.

The problem does not arise if the option tags are not separated by line breaks: the line breaks trigger the addition of unwanted select tags (without any wpautop plugin present). The problem did not arise on WP 3.8.

Not sure if this is the best solution, but it fixes it.
This is a 3.9 regression... :(

Not sure how this worked in MCE 3.x. Also having line breaks inside <select>, adds <p>/<br> on the front end. Don't see a point in preserving the line breaks, better to remove them (MCE will strip all line breaks on getContent() anyways).

@azaozz: What's left here?

In 29315:

Formatting: no <p> or <br> around <option> tags in both flavours of wpautop, make "selects" easier to read in the Text editor. Fixes #28217.

In 29316:

Formatting: make the removal of white space around <option> greedy, see #28217.

r29315 broke a unit test. See 28217.diff​.

In 29328:

Tests Autop: remove <option> from the list of inline tags. It is valid only in specific context (<select>, <optgroup> or <datalist>) and should not be wrapped in <p>. Props kovshenin, fixes #28217.
