fix: input in create link button popover closing keyboard

[matthewlipski]

Summary

This PR fixes an issue where tapping the create link button in the formatting toolbar on Android Chrome closes the virtual keyboard as well as the toolbar. The reason this happens is that tapping the button opens a popover, which immediately gets autofocused. Chrome on Android bugs out when there's not a certain amount of space below an input in a popover, making the virtual keyboard open and immediately dismiss when tapping the input, or focusing it in any other way:

1000001130.mov

This is fixed in the PR by calling scrollIntoView on the input just before the focus moves to it. However, it messes up the scroll position in the document. I've tried resetting the scroll position back to the selection using scrollTo and transaction.scrollIntoView in a timeout, but couldn't get this working.

The issue is reproducible on BrowserStack - you should be able to compare the previews of this PR and #2939 side-by-side.
