MultiSelect vs Dropdown has different focus behaviour

[kroeberk]

Describe the bug

Dear Primereact team,

the two components MultiSelect and Dropdown behave differently. When you click the Dropdown and the dropdown panel opens, the search field has immediate focus. This means you can click and then type and thereby search the items in the field. The MultiSelect (even though it has a search field too) is not automatically focussing on that. Therefore you have to perform an additional click to search that field. I don't think that's intended behavior. Or at least it's inconsistent.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create two Components, MultiSelect and Dropdown with a few items each
2. Set filter to true on both
3. Click on either of the components and see the inconsistent focus behaviour.

Expected behavior

Both fields should on click focus immediately on the search field, just to reduce the amount of clicking.

Its missing filterInputAutoFocus property

I think this attribute is not necessary for this issue. In accessibility improvements, such components will have a certain standard.

I will remove the attribute!
