[Bug 12958] 'textinput' event should be renamed to 'input'

To clarify, the editing spec defines events named "input" and "beforeinput"
that are fired for editing.  The HTML5 spec defines an event named "input"
(which implements a different interface from the editing "input" event) that is
fired for <input>/<textarea>.  No specification currently defines an event
named "beforeinput" that applies to <input>/<textarea>.  It would be desirable
to have such an event that would be cancelable and would expose the new
contents of the <input>/<textarea>, so that authors can control changes to
<input>/<textarea>s without having to intercept key events (which is
unreliable).
