dojox.mobile.TextBox selectonclick doesn't work

The last example, "Select On Click Text Input" doesn't select the value of the input box.

Looking into this, the TextBoxMixin?'s onFocus method expects the following arguments:

_onFocus: function(/*String*/ by){
}

which corresponds to the function being called by from "dijit/focus.js"

dijit/focus.js:
345:	   widget._onFocus(by);

However, the Dojo Mobile input fields (TextArea? & TextBox?) don't use the focus manager to handle focus events, instead connecting directly to the "onfocus' event, as seen here:

35:	postCreate: function(){
36:		this.inherited(arguments);
37:		this.connect(this.textbox, "onfocus", "_onFocus");
38:		this.connect(this.textbox, "onblur", "_onBlur");
39:	}

This causes the following clause in "_onFocus" to fail, not running the selection code to run, as by is the event object not a text string.

if(this.selectOnClick && by == "mouse"){

I'm not sure what's the best way to fix this, as it appears dojo mobile widgets intentionally don't use the focus manager.

Fixes #14053. Emulate dijit's focusmanager by calling _onFocus("mouse") for touch/focus to enable selectOnClick.
