Use Plain Dropdowns Instead of Select2 at Checkout

Removes the Select2 search boxes WooCommerce puts on the country and state fields, using the browser's native dropdowns that are lighter and easier on phones.

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function () {
    if ( ! function_exists( 'is_checkout' ) || ! ( is_checkout() || is_account_page() || is_cart() ) ) {
        return;
    }

    wp_dequeue_style( 'select2' );
    wp_dequeue_script( 'selectWoo' );
    wp_dequeue_script( 'select2' );
}, 100 );

Notes

Country and state fields still update each other, and native dropdowns work better with screen readers and phone keyboards.
