The API for text control selection is the same for both <input> and
<textarea>:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#textFieldSelection
Before this change, they had similar but not identical implementations
with duplicate code. Now there is a common TextControl trait which
contains the implementation used by both. As a result, some previously
failing tests now pass.
In a later PR, DomRoot<T> will become a type alias of Root<Dom<T>>,
where Root<T> will be able to handle all the things that need to be
rooted that have a stable traceable address that doesn't move for the
whole lifetime of the root. Stay tuned.
I don't want to do such a gratuitous rename, but with all the other types
now having "Dom" as part of their name, and especially with "DomOnceCell",
I feel like the other cell type that we already have should also follow
the convention. That argument loses weight though when we realise there
is still DOMString and other things.
Implement the InputEvent
Add WebIDL, from UI Events working draft.
Implement script type for event.
Note that actually firing InputEvents is not part of this commit.
<!-- Please describe your changes on the following line: -->
As part of my effort to improve [keyboard handling](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.servo/e6R7eBDjo4M) it is necessary to introduce the InputEvent. While I have a working prototype using the input event this still needs a lot of work before it can be merged into servo.

It could be used to have mutable JSVal fields without GC barriers.
With the removal of that trait, MutHeap and MutNullableHeap can respectively
be replaced by MutJS and MutNullableJS.
