[basicui] Use sitemap input hint v2

[mherwege]

This PR is a continuation of #1787, using the extra functionality provided by core if openhab/openhab-core#3644 gets merged in core. It would be an alternative to #1787 with the same functionality, but reduced complexity.

Requires openhab/openhab-core#3644.

@mherwege : for your information, I have done tests for number and I discovered 2 issues:

1. it does not work at all with number without dimension, the entered value is apparently rejected
2. If I clear the field and press enter, a value is restored but not the current value, rather an old value, probably the value when the page was first opened.

For number with dimension, except problem 2, it seems to work well.

For problem 1, as it was working well before, I assume there is a link with the change you did in core framework. The problem is in the JavaScript as I see no command sent to the server in the event log.

I will try to solve these 2 issues.

The java script code was not touched in 3d6aa48, the commit adapting to the change in core. So both problems may already have been there with the other PR, or caused by the change in core.

But in fact, I did not test recently to fill a value.
The problem should be in parseNumber method, I assume.

The problem should be in parseNumber method, I assume.

But this method works for number with dimension so I am not sure. That is strange.

[lolodomo]

I am not able to reproduce problem 2 (bad value restored) now !

[mherwege]

Make sure to first change it to another good value and only then try clearing the field. If there is an issue, it may be after a first successful update.

I just made more tests for numbers whatever the hint and that looks good.
I discovered that when input hint is number, you can use your mouse scroll to increase/decrease the value and it works.
I just found one issue when input hint is number: using the "+" like for example +12 is not possible, the value is rejected. I propose that this issue is fixed later in another PR.

I did not test again date/time hints but I made intensive tests and feedback few months ago on that part.

LGTM, thank you

[mherwege]

Thank you for all your review and adjustment effort.

[lolodomo]

Thank you to you first :)

I opened an issue for the remaining (minor) issue. I will try to fix it next week. I should check if this is specific to Firefox or not.
