Specification
https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2988
Summary
Option elements support a "label" attribute which will cause the
option to render with the text inside the attribute rather than the
child text of the option element itself. This functionality is
disabled in quirks mode, where the label attribute is ignored and the
child text is always rendered. This change will always use the label
attribute in both standards mode and quirks mode.

Risks
Interoperability and Compatibility
If websites rely on this quirks mode behavior despite firefox already
shipping this behavior for years, then select elements won't render
with the expected text. If too many websites are broken, I will
disable this change via finch and try to change the HTML spec to align
with chrome.
It's reassuring that this ships in Gecko, but do we have any sense of
how common it is to encounter an option w/ a label in quirks mode?

WebView application risks
This change does not have particularly high risk to WebView.
Debuggability
No DevTools changes are needed for this change.
Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms
(Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?

Anticipated spec changes
Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github
issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution
may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or
structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
