[TAP5-2162] Prevent default actions for DOM events using preventDefault() rather that stopping the events entirely

Description

Currently, Tapestry returns false from many DOM event handlers. That prevents other handlers for the same event/element combinations from being called.
The patch adds a preventDefault() method to EventWrapper and uses it instead of returning false.
