[w3c/editing] inputPanelPolicy as a way to control software keyboard (#225)

It has been brought up by few online editors that they need a way to control a software keyboard by not making it to show up in certain cases. Detailed discussion can be found [here](https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4876).

EditContext API [proposal](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/master/EditContext/explainer.md) exposes such an attribute and we think, it would be beneficial to expose it on all editable elements. 

The idea is to introduce an inputPanelPolicy  attribute that will disable software keyboard even when there is user focus tap. This is a html spec related issue, but we wanted to get some feedback from the community on the proposed solution.
