TreeSelect filter input type

[l-perine]

Describe the bug

example: https://primeng.org/treeselect#filter, presence of a blue delete cross that is basically unstylable

Cause: This is due to how the Treeselect and Tree component are tied together (see:

primeng/packages/primeng/src/tree/tree.ts

Line 727 in cd5848c

<input #filter pInputText type="search" autocomplete="off" class="p-tree-filter-input" [attr.placeholder]="filterPlaceholder" (keydown.enter)="$event.preventDefault()" (input)="_filter($event.target.value)" />

). The Tree component is the only place where a pInputText has the search type (that I could find).

I wish I could make a PR but I don't have the time and the solution picked (if this is considered an anomaly) would most likely result in more lost time down the road (as you can either decouple or add parameterability in the Tree component).
