Description

Bug Description

ui5-select is not usable with a screen reader, it opens the options but you can't focus on the options to actually select them nor nothing, you can also open multiple ui5-selects at the same time this way.

Expected Behavior

I expected the select to be announced as a "menu" and then I would be sent to the selected option, where I could press up or down to navigate the menu to the option I want.

Steps to Reproduce
