Geometry Nodes: Allow clearing an attribute text field

Because pressing enter will choose the current search item from the menu,
and there was no search item with an empty string, it was impossible to
clear the text of an attribute text field. This commit adds a simple "X"
icon in the top row when you delete the string.
