cy.focused() does not correctly wait for DOM elements to be found

[brian-mann]

• Cypress Version: 0.19.4

cy.focused() should behave exactly like other querying commands such as cy.get() or cy.contains().

As it stands, it will not wait for the element to exist in the DOM unless there is an assertion you've written. Instead the default assertion needs to be to wait for the element to exist unless you've reversed the default assertion with cy.focused().should("not.exist").

The documentation is correct but the behavior is wrong.

The code for this is done, but this has yet to be released. We'll update the issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
