web: give <select> the same styled default as inputs/textareas (#1017)

Plain selects rendered as unstyled native controls everywhere (profile
DM-privacy picker, bot-creation forms) except inside the Admin mini-app's
.admin-row, the one place someone had already given select a proper
rounded/bordered look. Elevate that look to the shared style.css default
instead of leaving it scoped to one app.

+other field instead of rendering as a plain, unstyled browser control.
