Actual Behavior

Given a <calcite-combobox> or <calcite-select> element containing <calcite-combobox-item> or <calcite-option> children with non-string value props, setting the parent's value prop does not select the matching child.

Expected Behavior

Possible options:

1. The matching child is selected and the parent's value type matches the child's value type.
2. Typing is changed on combobox-item and option components such that their respective value props are typed as string instead of any.

Reproduction Sample

Reproduction Steps

1. Visit the repro sample
2. Click the Set number value and Set numeric string value buttons and see the corresponding item/option is not selected
3. Click the Set string value and see the corresponding item/option is selected.

Reproduction Version

2.9.0

Relevant Info

If the typing allows for it, setting a non-numeric value is an easy pit to fall into when using these components inside a templating language like JSX or Ember. If the any typing is preserved, it'll be important to verify that comparisons between falsy values don't match: false, 0, '', etc…

Regression?

Impact

The issue is easily worked around, but can be hard to debug since the typing is ostensibly correct.
