1360752 - [Form Autofill] Handle inputs without <label> or @autocomplete for heuristics

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Form Autofill, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Matthew N. [:MattN]]

There are many ways that authors label their form fields for users that don't use <label> and we should use them for our autofill heuristics if @autocomplete field names aren't specified:
* <tr>/<th>
* adjacent text nodes (possibly wrapped in an element e.g. <p>, <b>, etc.)
* <li>
* <dl>
* <div>
* etc.

See the InferLabelFrom* methods in form_autofill_util.cc[1] with their test cases in form_autofill_browsertest.cc.

Mass bug change to replace various 'parity' whiteboard flags with the new canonical keywords. (See bug 1443764 comment 13.)

The meta keyword is there, the bug doesn't depend on other bugs and there is no activity for 12 months.
:jimm, maybe it's time to close this bug?

I'll set this to be dependent on Bug 1681985 because I believe the is something we can do to improve fathom CC rulesets.
