Collapsible checkboxes filter doesn't stay open if only first option is checked

Problem/Motivation

I have a Checkboxes/Radios filter that is collapsible. It's a multivalued field, so it's checkboxes. When I check only the first option, the filter collapses as if no options have been selected. If I check more than one option or any option after the first option, the advertised default behavior works as expected.

Steps to reproduce

See above.

Proposed resolution

I don't think this has anything to do with the recent work related to Issue ✨ Allow not automatically opening collapsed filter Needs review

The problematic code has been around for ages: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/better_exposed_filters/-/blame/7.0.x/...

Add here #2985623: Secondary options closed after submit – reversion → 

      // Check if one or more values are set for our current element.
      $options = $form[$element]['#options'] ?? [];
      $default_value = $form[$element]['#default_value'] ?? key($options);
      $has_values = array_reduce($user_input, function ($carry, $value) use ($form, $element, $default_value) {
        return $carry || ($value === $default_value ? '' : ($value || $default_value === 0));
      }, FALSE);

The problem is that for my checkboxes, there is no default value for the filter, which means that $default_value gets set to
key($options);, which returns the first option. That means the array_reduce ends up finding that the user-selected value is equal to the default value and sets $has_values to false.

I would propose that we not consider the default value in this logic. I would personally want to see the filer open if any value has been selected, including a default value.
