HTML autocorrect attribute

[hamishwillee]

The global autocorrect attribute is now part of the standard. This documents it.

Note, in draft because I haven't been able to "see" and autocorrection behaviour in testing. Creating this PR allows me to create something that "may" allow that.

Related docs work in #35593

A little bit of safari 18 debug:

• Password, email, url all return true or false for the value of the autocorrect - not match spec on or off.

• Password does not autocorrect, but email and url do (try autocorrectt )

• passwordElement.autocorrect=false; works, but "on" and "off" do not.

• <input id="userPassword" type="text" autocorrect="off" /> - this turns it off - everything else is on. But the API returns true/false values. i.e. on and off are the values to set in the attribute value.

• Form elements get autocorrect enabled by default - you can read it. Always on unless explicitly set to off in HTML or false via API.

  • nested elements obey this as per spec (modulo using true/false not on/off)

• Div elements get autocorrect and it is on by default, but it is not inherited.

• contenteditable is same
