selectablePlaceholder(false) doesn't work with required() for Filament\Forms\Components\Select

Problem description

If selectablePlaceholder(false) is called and the select is NOT interacted with, then it passes null instead of the first option of the form.

IF you make that field ->required(), THEN it also says that field is necessary, even though the first value is already selected.

If you select a different dropdown value and then select the first one again, then it works as expected.

Expected behavior

null should NEVER be passed UNLESS the first default option's value is null WHEN ->selectablePlaceholder(false).

Steps to reproduce

Add a simple Select to any form:

Select::make('value')
    ->required()
    ->selectablePlaceholder(false)
    ->options([
        'test' => 'test',
        'abc' => 'abc',
        'def' => 'def',
    ]),

---

Go to http://application.test/admin/users/create and then click create without doing anything else.

The current behavior is that Filament incorrectly says the select dropdown is required. Which it is, but the first value is already selected. If you select a different value, then the first one again, it works as expected.

The expected behavior would be to get an Exception with a SQL error because I haven't included all the required fields for the default Laravel user. A full form that throws no exceptions doesn't change anything.

This is the behaviour of an HTML select if you do not have a blank option and do not have any options with the selected attribute. The first option is not really selected.

To fix this, you can pass ->default('test') so that an option has the selected attribute.
