Allow to select a different select type and allow select2 when the module is available.

The webmaster is able to set the select type for the field widget.

New schema for the select type for the field widget.

I'm inclined to keep the widget code as simple as possible.

For projects that need this, wouldn't it be possible to add support for yearonly field items to the select2 widget itself by implementing hook_field_widget_info_alter()? Something like:

function mymodule_field_widget_info_alter(array &$info) {
  if (isset($info['select2'])) {
    $info['select2']['field_types'][] = 'yearonly';
  }
}

I confirmed that you can use the method in #10 to enable the select2 widget for yearonly fields. That said, I get the error below when trying to add new content after switching to the select2 widget.

Error: Call to a member function getSettableOptions() on null in Drupal\Core\Field\Plugin\Field\FieldWidget\OptionsWidgetBase->getOptions()

That's in my Drupal 10.4.9 test instance. YMMV.

Absent other evidence, I'll chalk that up to the fact that Select2 is no longer actively maintained, and is replaced by Tagify.

Now that this issue is closed, review the contribution record.
