Sets value of a text-control input or select element and updates v-model bound data.

Arguments:
- {any} value
Example:

import { mount } from '@vue/test-utils'
import Foo from './Foo.vue'

test('setValue demo', async () => {
  const wrapper = mount(Foo)

  const textInput = wrapper.find('input[type="text"]')
  await textInput.setValue('some value')

  expect(wrapper.find('input[type="text"]').element.value).toBe('some value')

  const select = wrapper.find('select')
  await select.setValue('option value')

  expect(wrapper.find('select').element.value).toBe('option value')

  // requires <select multiple>
  const multiselect = wrapper.find('select')
  await multiselect.setValue(['value1', 'value3'])

  const selectedOptions = Array.from(multiselect.element.selectedOptions).map(
    o => o.value
  )
  expect(selectedOptions).toEqual(['value1', 'value3'])
})

- textInput.setValue(value) is an alias of the following code.
```
textInput.element.value = value
textInput.trigger('input')
```
- select.setValue(value) is an alias of the following code.
```
select.element.value = value
select.trigger('change')
```
