qx.bom.Input - missing input types

[WillsterJohnson]

Describe the bug According to mdn, there are 22 valid input types, however qx.bom.Input only supports 13, of which 2 are not valid input types (textarea and select are their own html elements distinct from <input>).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

<input type="number" />; // or any other missing type

Expected behavior An instance of qx.html.Element with tagName="input" and attributes={type:"number"} should be created via qx.html.Jsx.createElement

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS, Browser: any
• Version: 7.7.1

Additional context This issue makes it impossible to use half of the available input types in jsx, importantly the number type.

Proposed Solution:

• On qx.bom.Input, expose the static __types field publicly as types
• In qx.html.Factory constructor at this.registerFactory("input",...), check that the given type exists as a key of qx.bom.Input.types. If so, then continue with the current behavior. Otherwise, fallback to creating a plain qx.html.Element

This would only change the behavior of code which would otherwise throw an error and crash the application, so is shouldn't have any impact on existing code.

@WillsterJohnson I also don't see any problem just adding the support for new types. As you said old apps will work as before and if they use new types they get some crash. Maybe there are ways to handle an error. Could you provide a PR please?
