Watir-webdriver does not appear to be able to locate optgroup element's by
their label attribute.
For the following html:
```html
<select id="name_list">
<optgroup label="env1">
<option value="comp1">comp1 details</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="env2">
<option value="comp1">comp1 details</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
```
The optgroup cannot be found by its label attribute:
```ruby
browser.optgroup(:label => 'env2').exists?
#=> false
```
I believe the problem is in the following
[method](https://github.com/watir/watir-webdriver/blob/master/lib/watir-webdriver/locators/element_locator.rb#L273-L274)
of the element locator:
```ruby
def should_use_label_element?
@selector[:tag_name] != "option"
end
```
Since this method would return false for the optgroup, I believe that
watir-webdriver is trying to match a label _element_ rather than the label
_attribute_.
