Input bug attribute value

Bug

I already had some weird issues before with the attribute value on anything else then text and integers, but I think I found the culprit.

The generic approach for getting any attribute through the getAttribute() function doesn't work with value. That's why decimal inputs don't update when you bind the value with attribute.value(...).

Maybe for attribute.value we can write a hack that will check for attribute name value and use element.value instead of the getAttribute(..).

Steps to reproduce

Write something like this:

      html.input([
        attribute.type_("number"),
        attribute.step(".01"),
        attribute.placeholder("Decimal"),
        attribute.value(value_str),
        event.on_input(SetInput),
      ])

You can just bind it to some string. Then try to type 121.23. you will see that the dot will never be inserted. If you use any special character like ",", ";" it will completely remove the input. When you comment out the attribute.value input it will undo the wrong binding.

Yeah sounds super reasonable, we have to special-case a bunch of stuff like this. This one must have fallen through the cracks!
