[Dropdowns, TreeView] Force all parent items to be selectable

Current behavior:

All parent items are available for selection unless they are disabled.

Expected behavior:

Items that are parents should have a third state that allows them to be expanded but not selected.

In many real-world use cases, parents are categories that are not supposed to be selected and only exist to categorize the child options.

Following a recent review, we've decided to reopen this request. 

While it has received limited community interest over the years, we believe it addresses a valid scenario and is worth keeping active. 

We encourage everyone interested in this request to vote for it and share additional details about their specific use case to help us better understand its relevance and demand.

We are declining this request due to low interest and demand.

However, if there is a surge in popularity at a later time, we will reconsider its status.
