showPicker() method called on typing in a text field or clicking a button

The `showPicker()` method of the date input (`<input type="date">`) doesn't work. 

In the demo file typing any character in the text field or clicking the "Show picker" button call `showPicker()`. Thus those actions should open the date picker.

In Safari the date picker is not opened. No errors are thrown.

It should be noted that calling `.click()` on date and datetime-local inputs does correctly open the picker, so `.showPicker()` should.

It seems that these are empty:

https://searchfox.org/wubkat/source/Source/WebCore/html/InputType.cpp#611


void InputType::handleDOMActivateEvent(Event&)
{
}

void InputType::showPicker()
{
}

While in case of others, we have 'ColorInputType::handleDOMActivateEvent' as an example, we do call 'showPicker' and have 'showPicker' function as well.

I'm happy to take a look at this and https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261701 tomorrow. Doesn't look to be too difficult to wire up.
