Replaces the Polymer-based <iron-list> used for the dropdown items virtual scrolling with the internal virtualizer from <vaadin-virtual-list>.

Certain Flow ComboBox tests and the TB element still expect the <vaadin-combo-box> Web Component to use an <iron-list> internally. There's a branch with necessary changes to ComboBox that needs to be merged together with the Web Component version bump.

All logic related to restoring the scroll position on items change can be removed from combo-box, because the virtualizer has the same functionality built-in.

One more note about cleanup iron-list leftovers.

Let's also update iron-list specific styles to get proper padding around the dropdown items back.

:host {
/* TODO: using a legacy mixin (unsupported) */
--iron-list-items-container: {
border-width: var(--lumo-space-xs);
border-style: solid;
border-color: transparent;
}
}

/* TODO using a legacy mixin (unsupported) */
--iron-list-items-container: {
border-width: 8px 0;
border-style: solid;
border-color: transparent;
}
}

We don't have visual tests for opened combo-box so they didn't catch this 😕 My bad, forgot to add them.

Good catch, fixed

Unit tests started to fail after the CSS change which makes me think they should be updated to not use Lumo.

Yeah, that's probably a nicer fix. The numbers make better sense without Lumo, but it looks nasty which can make it difficult to debug the tests later.
