[Implemented] InputRequester enhancement

Would it be easy to add these things to the InputRequester?

(1) Auto-select all text if the DefaultString$ flag is not null.
(2) Make it have an icon in the title bar, from the current window.
(3) Maybe have a Cancel button to the right of the Ok button.
(4) Play the #MB_ICONQUESTION sound to prompt the user.
(5) Support the StringGadget #PB_String_Password flag.
(6) Make it a bit wider to support longer text, maybe double it?

Also, "Ok" should be "OK" to match the Windows standard. ;)

Amazing, I was just thinking about posting that earlier today! (After not mentioning it for months...)

Anyway,
1. Sounds good
2. Not necessary but sure
3. Would be helpful!

1) Sounds very good
2) Speaking of the Windows standard: Requesters doesn't have system menus.
3) Sounds very good
