type support in JSP <form:input> and point to <form:password>
Prior to this commit, the reference manual mentioned that the JSP <form:input> tag supports HTML5-specific types, but the Javadoc and spring-form.tld did not document the `type` attribute at all, and none of the documentation explained which types are supported or that <form:password> must be used for password fields. This commit updates the documentation as follows. - Document in InputTag, spring-form.tld, and the reference manual that a `type` can be supplied as a dynamic attribute, that `checkbox` and `radio` are not supported, and that the bound value is rendered as-is. - Add notes to InputTag, the reference manual, and spring-form.tld stating that <form:input type="password"> must not be used and that <form:password> should be used instead. - Document in PasswordInputTag, spring-form.tld, and the reference manual that <form:password> does not render the bound value by default. Closes gh-37376
