<!--
`paper-autogrow-textarea` is an element containing a textarea that grows in height as more
lines of input are entered. Unless an explicit height or the `maxRows` property is set, it will
never scroll.

Example:

    <paper-autogrow-textarea id="a1">
        <textarea id="t1"></textarea>
    <paper-autogrow-textarea>

Because the `textarea`'s `value` property is not observable, if you set the `value` imperatively
you must call `update` to notify this element the value has changed.

Example:

    /* using example HTML above */
    t1.value = 'some\ntext';
    a1.update();
