enhance format option by passing entire option element to function

[sbeam]

instead of just passing the text, give the formatter function a reference to the
entire option element during construction.

Still passing opt.text() as the first argument to preserve backwards compatibility, although this is now superfluous it does not seem worth it to break existing apps.

An example of why this is needed is in my use case which uses data- attributes from the original option elements to make the options look fancy:

$('#product_options select.calculatable').selectmenu({format : function(text, opt) {
            return opt.text()
                   + '<span class="price">'
                   + format_price($(opt).data('adder'))
                   + '</span>';
 }});

I'm pretty busy right now and need to fix the v1.3 (see milestone filter) bugs but I will take a look asap.

In my case it's a multilingual dropdown where I want to read out the language code from the value property.
