autofocus search field on homepage

[deronnax]

What's the problem this feature will solve?

I often go to pypi.org homepage to search for packages. When doing so, the search field doesn't have the caret present. I need to click in the search field. That's very annoying. The homepage main purpose is basically to do a package search.

Describe the solution you'd like

Having the autofocus on the search field

Additional context

I think it's a no-brainer with no downside. A simple autofocus on the input field should do. I am willing to do the PR if needed (despite it's probably much worthier than maintainer does it).

A decision on this issue has been made before. See #6088 and the implemented keyboard shortcut in #6099.
