Autocomplete doesn't work with textareas

[meh-cfl]

Attaching the autocomplete plugin to a textarea doesn't show the autocomplete search menu when typing text.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a text area and attach the autocomplete plugin to it.
2. Type some text into the text box which appears in the autocomplete source.

Expected: The autocomplete menu should be displayed.

Actual: The autocomplete menu isn't displayed.

Notes: This is a regression over version 1.8.14. I will also commit a failing test for this shortly.

Sorry, didn't see that this was filed against master, since you referenced a regression over a version 2 releases ago.

This regression was introduced by commit ​5095871 with the addition of line 42:

		this.valueMethod = this.element[ this.element.is( "input" ) ? "val" : "text" ];

Autocomplete: Fixed setting of valueMethod for textareas. Fixes #7674 - Autocomplete doesn't work with textareas.
