Summary Add an event that fires for user text input

Some use cases want an event that only fires when real user typing occurs (i.e. not synthetic modifications to input or textarea via JS). Adding an event handler for the input event that checks for isTrusted events mostly accomplishes this. But it still has some overhead that we don't want to pay for (e.g. an untrusted click event on a checkbox causes a trusted input event to fire, which then spuriously invokes the code that only cares about real user typing). To help with this, add a webkitusertextinput event that only fires when real user typing occurs which modifies a text field or text area. This is analogous to the behavior of the textDidChangeInTextField and textDidChangeInTextArea APIs that we offer to the injected bundle.
