Supporting prompt

[alexandrev]

I have seen that you close another issue related to this one about including prompt as an option inside your API to show dialog. I don't know why is the reason to discard this basic function, but I think you should reconsider it because it's a basic feature that make you discard this API or use different API to fulfill your needs.

Please, introduce an option to prompt a value to the user in the dialog API.

Thx,

@alexandrev Prompt dialogs have their own limitations, so it's rather simpler to implement new BrowserWindow with custom html form inside.

HI @dkfiresky. You are probably right but that happens with any other dialog and I don't think the solution is to create your own component for everything (new browser with custom html code is custom component).

That's a solution that doesn't create any problem to the electron API and it is supported for most of the other API's or even for all the languages.

The reason why this is not supported has been explained in #472 (comment), I don't think it worths any effort to implement it.

I'm locking this since this is an exact duplicate of #472, we should limit the discussion in one issue.
