[w3c/editing] Detecting if a virtual keyboard will open if an element gets focus (Issue #402)

In our chat application, we often move focus back to the message field after an action such as deleting a message has been performed. Unfortunately, this opens up the virtual keyboard in many cases, so we disable this behavior if we think we're on a mobile device. We currently check this using screen size, but that's not a great heuristic.

It would be great if there were a way to check if moving focus to an input or contentEditable element would cause an on-screen keyboard to open.  We might be able to solve this with the inputPanelPolicy proposed in #225, but that would mean blocking the keyboard by default, and then re-enabling it in the cases when we want it to appear, and I'd prefer to do it the other way around.
