Fixes #1378. The confusion in that issue has come up several times. In response, this PR:

.Background
The Dropdown does not manage its own state when using the subcomponent API. Only the shorthand props API has access to the children (via a config object passed through props) to properly add event listeners and manage state.
Many of the doc site examples show the subcomponent API usage. Some are required to do this as we do not yet support the shorthand to create the variation displayed. Other examples use the subcomponent API simply because they are old. In both cases, very few subcomponent API examples give the proper information regarding this.
