[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.

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.
