Textarea doesn't update value when it's an empty string

[andesol]

Consider this simplified example:

import { useState } from 'react';
import { Button, Textarea } from "@canonical/react-components";

function App() {
  const [data, setData] = useState("Default text");

  return (
      <div>
        <Button onClick={() => setData("")}>
          Show nothing
        </Button>
        <p>Current data is: {data}</p>
        <Textarea
          value={data}
          onChange={(e) => setData(e.target.value)}
        />
      </div>
    );
}

This is the default scenario:

I'd expect clicking the button to clear the value in the Textarea. However, while the state is correctly updated (to an empty string), the Textarea still shows the previous value.

It looks like this line should be

props.value ?? innerValue

Good catch @andesol. Care to propose a PR? I guess it would be good to have a test case that catches this as well.
