Description
Menuplacement auto in a div with overflow auto, puts the menu to the bottom. Even when there is not enough space. This makes the form or div scrollable when it doesn't need to. This occurs when the select is put on the bottom of the form.
Examples:

Research direction
Start with the linked CodeSandbox reproduction, particularly src/App.js around lines 405-410, and reproduce the select at the bottom of an overflow-auto container using menuPlacement="auto". Trace the menu-placement behavior in react-select and verify that auto placement avoids making the container scrollable when there is insufficient space below.
