Add new clear options to set a value for textareas. By default, in
the chrome selenium test, when set value of text-related node, it would
only prepend the first line. As the capybara chrome node: it only sends
space and backspace to clear the text. https://bit.ly/3zpJZYJ
However, this will ONLY clear the first line of the text area.
In this commit, we added a Textarea element to override the set method
to clear all text in the text area.
This is following the set definition in the Capybara: it says we could
use [[:command, 'a'], :backspace] to clear all text.
