Title: Textinput: Do sync height update even in IE8

Fixes gh-7577

I've made sure #6998 is still fixed.

In a91747c0 I made two changes: I skipped setting height to 0 before calculating the desired height, because that was breaking IE8. However, I also changed the way in which autogrow reacts to show events such pageshow or popupbeforeposition: I made it call _updateHeight() asynchronously, rather than synchronously. This is not a problem on a page, but in a popup, if you call _updateHeight() asynchronously from popupbeforeshow, then the popup coordinate calculation proceeds with the old popup height, because the textarea height is set to the correct value only asynchronously.

I've re-examined #6998 and I've found that setting the height asynchronously is not required, after all.
