[Bug 12868] forms: Allow placeholder="" for color and date/time types

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12868

--- Comment #11 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> ---
Correction, kbrosnan points out that actually Firefox on Android does do
something when you tap the text fields. So Firefox on Android supports them
more or less like iOS Safari does: they're buttons (though they look like text
fields) that pop up UI. They actually do support placeholder="" on them
currently.

It's hard to know what to do if half the implementations show the placeholders
and half don't. On the one hand, if they show them, it makes sense to allow
them to be specified! On the other, if an author is relying on them to be
shown, a user might get lost if the information isn't shown, and then the
author will blame the browsers, even though IMHO it's perfectly reasonable not
to show them...
