[IMP] mail : autofocus items in autocomplete inputs

With this commit, when using autocomplete inputs in Discuss
or chat windows, the 1st item is automatically auto-focused.

Example of autocomplete inputs:
- Discuss: "Add or join a channel" in sidebar
- Chat window: when clicking on "New Message" from systray
    messaging menu.

As a result, we can use keyboard keys to navigate and select
the desired item.
