Some notes on the work-in-progress patch:

.) It also includes type=search (hence the renaming of this bug entry), but search should really have it's own RenderTextControl sub-type.

.) The shadow DOM objects are so far largely unchanged from the original code. Layouting is still handled by the RenderTExtControlSingleLine. If possible, I would keep this arrangement for the initial version, and move the layouting logic to the shadow Elements in subsequent bugs/patches.

.) There is some inefficiency that the shadow DOM for type=text is created by default, then destroyed and overwritten once the type attribute is read. Not sure how we can fix this (or whether it really matters).
