Based on my own use case, the playground is probably often used for very quick one-off checks of language rules. Autofocus on the `textarea` lowers friction in this case. Otherwise I rely on correctly hitting tab 7 times. fixes golang/go#49452

play.golang.org should autofocus its text area on load, as is done by tour.golang.org. This simplifies the (probably common) use case of navigating to the page, writing a tiny program, and then checking that it compiles & produces expected output.
Currently, I hit tab 7 times on page-load to bring myself to the editor.
