FF92: selectionchange_event - can be fired on textarea and input

[hamishwillee]

FF92 adds support for this spec change. Essentially the selectedchange event used to just be fired on document and tell you something about the selected nodes (in a Selection object). The spec change means that you can use the same event to find out about selection within a text control (input or text area)

The change adds information in the global onselectionchanged handler to note the new events. There are also new event docs added for HTMLInputElement/HTMLTextAreaElement. BCD follows in mdn/browser-compat-data#12126.

This is first part of docs for #7755
