Description
For Datepicker, when a date is selected and the associated input's value is updated, the "change" event is fired, but the "input" event is not. I assume this is because Datepicker was originally created before the "input" event became standard.
Although this has been the longtime behavior, it looks to be a simple change to fire the "input" event at the same time.

Start in ui/widgets/datepicker.js at the lines linked in the issue, where selecting a date updates the associated input and fires the change event. Make the input event fire with that update, then verify that date selection produces both events.
