Restore cursor position on #ajax 'input' or 'keyup' event

Created on 7 April 2019, over 5 years ago

When using #ajax with the 'input' event (same with 'keyup') on a text field to replace the field itself, the cursor position is getting lost so the cursor is reset to the beginning of the text field.

It seems rather easy to store and restore the cursor position, see
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35400504/the-input-elements-cursor-p..., and I think the events' current behavior isn't okay in terms of accessibility, so we should do it.
