Description

The default appearance (`""`) when using selects with images shows them as "thumbnails" rather than filling the available space:

![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/994d0cfe-7521-423f-aee5-3bae0cba8c28)

This is different from the [`columns-n` appearance](https://docs.getodk.org/form-question-types/#select-widget-with-columns-n-appearance) which might be confusing. We should make sure it's clear how the default appearance behaves that it is different from `columns-1`.

Research direction

Start with the linked documentation section for the select widget with the columns-n appearance and compare it with the default appearance described in the issue. Update the documentation so readers can tell that the default select-with-images behavior shows thumbnails and differs from columns-1; done when that distinction is clear.
