Correct the information given for the "size" attribute

[jGowgiel]

According to the current specification, the value of the "size" attribute is incorrectly identified here as greater than or equal to zero, when it should in fact be greater than zero.

The size attribute also has no specification links or compatibility data, which I am also addressing with an associated PR to mdn/browser-compat-data. I'll add a link to that PR as a comment here once it has been opened!

Description

Fix the information for the "size" attribute to properly state that the value should be strictly greater than zero, not greater than or equal to zero as stated currently.

I have also reworded and made the documentation for the "size" attribute more precise about what it indicates for input and select attributes, based on the HTML spec.

Motivation

I found this attribute and attempted to set it myself, based on the information given on MDN, and was flagged with an error from Angular when I attempted to set it to zero. According to the MDN documentation as it is currently written, 0 should be a valid value, so I went digging to see where the disconnect was. I'd like to prevent others from being similarly confused in the future!

RE: the flaw reported here that there is no BCD data - this should be resolved with the PR I linked in an earlier comment to mdn/browser-compat-data 👍
