Re: [w3c/uievents] Browsers do not fire select event with UIEvent (#284)

Demo: https://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/12265

As far as I can tell, Chrome, Safari and Firefox only fire `select` event for `input` and `textarea` elements, which is required in HTML:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#set-the-selection-range
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-input-element-as-a-text-entry-widget
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-textarea-element-2

Thus I think the `select` event can be removed completely from the UI Events spec.
