Description
Problem description
I want to test that my <input type="range"> calls the necessary function upon moving the slider thumb to a particular value. So far, it doesn't seem to be possible with the current capabilities of user-event.
Suggested solution
Similarly to selectOptions, I would like to have something like this:
await userEvent.setValueInRange(screen.getByRole('slider'), 50);
Other ideas for the name could be dragTo, moveSliderTo.

Research direction
Start with the existing userEvent.selectOptions behavior and the range input exposed through getByRole('slider'). Compare the proposed setValueInRange, dragTo, and moveSliderTo entry points, then verify that changing the slider to 50 triggers the expected change event.
