Inputs should not mutate value on type conversion (when they stringify to the same thing) #9806

This is a follow-up on #9584 (comment). There is no need to assign the value property of an input if the value property of the React component changes types, but stringifies to the same value. For example:

DOM.render(<input value="true" />, el)
DOM.render(<input value={true} />, el)

In this case, the assignment to input.value will always be cast to the string "true". There is no need to perform this assignment. Particularly when we already cast the value to a string later:

// Cast `value` to a string to ensure the value is set correctly. While
// browsers typically do this as necessary, jsdom doesn't.
node.value = '' + value;

Testing

I've put up a build of the DOM fixtures for this branch here:

I second what @gaearon said - @aweary or @nhunzaker feel free to merge and then I'm happy to cherry-pick this to 15.6-dev.
