Description

### Prerequisites

- [x] I have read the [Contributing Guidelines](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md#creating-an-issue).
- [x] I agree to follow the [Code of Conduct](https://ionicframework.com/code-of-conduct).
- [x] I have searched for [existing issues](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/issues) that already include this feature request, without success.

### Describe the Feature Request

Add support for iOS-style right-to-left slide animation when opening ion-select overlays, similar to native iOS picker navigation.

Add a new interface option (e.g., interface="page" or interface="slide") that:

Slides in from right-to-left (like navigating to a sub-page)
Takes up full screen or near-full screen
Slides back left-to-right on dismiss
Matches iOS navigation transitions for consistency

Similar to this: https://framework7.io/vue/smart-select

### Describe the Use Case

Many iOS apps use a full-page slide transition when selecting from long lists or complex options, rather than modals or action sheets. This pattern:

Provides more space for options with descriptions
Feels more natural for multi-level selections
Matches user expectations from native iOS apps
Works better for hierarchical or grouped selections
