Title:
  Swap placeholder text for placeholder attribute

Status in Mahara:
  New

Bug description:
  When adding a new block to a Mahara page, the user is prompted to
  enter a 'block title'.

  The word 'placeholder' is present as the value of the input box.  This
  leads some students to have many blocks with a title of 'placeholder'.
  Here's an abbreviated fragment of the HTML...

  
  <input type="text" class="form-control text autofocus" name="title" value="Placeholder">

  Would it be better to have a blank 'value' and use the 'placeholder'
  attribute instead?  So the HTML fragment would be as follows...

  <input type="text" class="form-control text autofocus" name="title"
  value="" placeholder="Block title">
