Subject: [PATCH] Make all input elements display: inline-block by default

Part of https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4082

Force inner display type to flow-root and ignore overflow

drop-down select is display: inline-block

Require text inputs to be scroll containers

And only support scrolling in the inline axis.

This should address the third bullet point in
https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4082#issuecomment-482901048
