Currently, when filtering by a list field (either exposed or through the Views UI when adding a filter), the filter is displayed as a text field.

It'd be much more user friendly to display a select list instead of the text field, containing the option values from the list field.

Thanks a lot for creating this issue and providing a neat way of spotting fields with options lists!
Just a bit of clean-up, and a bit more defensive coding in case other data definitions also use the allowed_values setting (potentially for other purposes).

Please test whether this still works for you, then I can commit it.
