Patches to JSDOM for properly handling forms.

The Form

Forms convert INPUT fields of type file into this object and pass it as parameter to resource request.

The base class is a String, so the value (e.g. when passed in a GET request) is the base filename. Additional properties include the MIME type (mime), the full filename (filename) and the read method that returns the file contents.

Implement form.submit such that it actually submits a request to the server. This method takes the submitting button so we can send the button name/value.

No triggering event, just get history to do the submission.

Implement form.reset to reset all form fields.

Replace dispatchEvent so we can send the button along the event.

Default behavior for submit events is to call the form's submit method, but we also pass the submitting button.

Buttons

Default behavior for clicking on inputs.

Current INPUT behavior on click is to capture sumbit and handle it, but ignore all other clicks. We need those other clicks to occur, so we're going to dispatch them all.

First event we fire is click event

If that works out, we follow with a change event

Default behavior for form BUTTON: submit form.

Default type for button is submit. jQuery live submit handler looks for the type attribute, so we've got to make sure it's there.

The element in focus.
