Attachment: Bug 1700535. Make textareas inline block by default. r?emilio

This matches Chrome and Safari, as well as what we do for all other <input>s.

<input>s were changed to inline block in 1539469 with a couple of font inflation reftests marked as failing to follow up on. https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/a1201db1b8cc is the follow up which made inputs not be font inflation containers. The same change for textarea fixes similar reftest failures for textarea. I read through the commit message for the change and doing the same for textareas seems to make sense but I don't understand it in detail.
