Clone the tabindex from the original select

Previously Select2 would assume that the tab index for the
`<select>` was `0`, which is the browser default.  Now Select2 will
clone the tab index from the original element, and correctly restore
it when it is destroyed or disabled/enabled.

This closes https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/3031.
