The selection API only applies to certain <input> types:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/#do-not-apply
This commit ensures that we handle that correctly.
Some notes:
1. TextControl::set_dom_selection_direction now calls
set_selection_range(), which means that setting selectionDirection will
now fire a selection event, as it should per the spec.
2. There is a test for the firing of the select event in
tests/wpt/web-platform-tests/html/semantics/forms/textfieldselection/select-event.html,
however the test did not run due to this syntax error:
(pid:26017) "ERROR:script::dom::bindings::error: Error at http://web-platform.test:8000/html/semantics/forms/textfieldselection/select-event.html:50:11 missing = in const declaration"
This happens due to the us of the "for (const foo of ...)" construct.
Per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/for...of
this should actually work, so it's somewhat unsatisfying to have to
change the test.
4. If an <input>'s type is unset, it defaults to a text, and the
selection API applies. Also, if an <input>'s type is set to an
invalid value, it defaults to a text too. I've expanded the tests
to account for this second case.

This should make it somewhat easier to experiment with alternative
representations in the future. To reduce churn, this commit leaves the String
field public, though.
Also, this will allow us to use the default String type to represent the IDL
USVString type, which explicitly forbids unpaired surrogates, ans as such is
a better match to the Rust String type.
Issue #7365 : test cursor position after clearing selection
In textinput test if the cursor is at the correct position when clearing a selection by press an arrow key.
edit_point is always at the end of the selection, should I test when it's at the beginning ?
