.type() improvements

[jennifer-shehane]

There are multiple issues that have been raised in regards to .type() (with some tertiary issues concerning .blur() and .clear()). This issue is generally to be used to track the progress made for these improvements.

What we need to do

• input selectionStart/selectionEnd incorrect during type() #1234
• search-input.sync method not triggered when using the cy.get(' ').type('') command #1209
• Blur event is not fired reliably in some situations #1176
• Change event is not fired on number input #1171
• Using Contenteditable and type - caret does not move #1108
• After type, framework's internal state doesn't have time to update #984
• Digits Scrambled when using type on tel input field with input mask #940
• applies blur to wrong element after a series of tests #610
• Cannot type in draftjs-based editors #596
• if chaining .clear() with .type(), do not issue 'blur', 'click', etc to input in between #593
• Update/improve cy.type validation logic #586
• cy.clear() not behaving the same as {selectall}{backspace} #420
• Chaining is broken when reusing same options object in .type() command #365
