Make the textbox more accessible (unnecessary tabIndex)

Problem/Motivation

The created widget has a tab index of 0, but also an 'unselectable' attribute. It's not actually possible to tab to it since it has a display: none; set, so its somewhat redundant.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

jquery-ui already has a similar solution in place.

See https://web.dev/control-focus-with-tabindex/#remove-an-element-from-the-tab-order and https://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/201108/do_not_use_displaynone_to_visually_hide_content_intended_for_screen_readers/

This removes an element from the natural tab order, but the element can still be focused by calling its focus() method.

The tabIndex can be updated to be removed or set to -1 (to be more explicit) so that it's no longer focusable.
The autocomplete dropdown is only ever visible whenever the input field is in focus anyway making it impossible to tab into otherwise making its existence somewhat irrelevant lol.
