Per discussion in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5678, browser vendors agree that we should move the focus back to previously focused element upon dialog.close(). This improves the a11y support of dialog, so that we can enable <dialog> in Release.
We'll start with By default, dialog.close() returns the focus to the previously focused element if the element is still focusable and within the viewport, otherwise move the focus to <body>;
(Web developers should be able to use the close event to move the focus to a different element if they want)

in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5678, such that closing
<dialog> should move the focus to the previously focused element.
