fix: replace isDeepStrictEqual with navigation-aware options comparison

The select cursor highlight was broken because isDeepStrictEqual in
use-select-navigation.ts and use-multi-select-state.ts would fail when
options contained identity-unstable properties (JSX label elements,
function onChange callbacks, computed disabled booleans). This caused
the reset logic to fire on every re-render, resetting focusedValue
back to the first option.

Replace isDeepStrictEqual with optionsNavigateEqual which only compares
properties that affect navigation behavior: value, disabled, and type.
ReactNode labels and function callbacks are intentionally excluded as
they are identity-unstable but don't change navigation semantics.

Fixes #472
