[w3c/uievents] Event order between "keypress" and "beforeinput" (#220)

Ccing @garykac

Currently, UI Events [defines](https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#keypress-event-order) event order of "keypress" event is:

1. `keydown`
2. `beforeinput`
3. `keypress`
4. `input`
5. `keyup`

However, **both** Chrome and Safari uses this event order:

1. `keydown`
2. `keypress`
3. `beforeinput`
4. `input`
5. `keyup`

Even for Firefox, the latter event order makes sense too because Firefox implements each user operation in editor is a default action of `keypress` event.  So, if Firefox needs to conform to current draft's event order, Mozilla need to rewrite event handling a lot.

So, both backward compatibility with Chrome/Safari and for implementing `beforeinput` quicker on Firefox, I'd like to suggest that the event order should be changed in the UI Events.
