Robert O'Callahan 299ea95ae7 Bug 821307. Ensure nsTextEditorState::SetValue does nothing when the new value equals the old value, even for password inputs. r=ehsan
If nsTextEditorState::SetValue is allowed to rebuild the editor DOM even when
the new value is the same as the old value, then during PrepareEditor we can
remove the content that's the current target of the event triggering the
PrepareEditor, which prevents important code from running such as the code that
focuses the text input. Normally this isn't a problem but
nsTextEditorState::SetValue's code for getting the current value is broken
for password controls when !mEditorInitialized. So we remove that broken code
path.

We have to make sure that the password text, if any, is set on the edit-rules
during their initialization so the regular path for getting the current
value returns the right thing.
