Datepicker: only set the focus explicitly if it is not already on the target field. Fixed #6694 – datepicker does not fire change event in IE8

jQuery stores the current content of a field whenever it gets the focus. Since the fixed function is also called for KeyUp events the change event is not triggered anymore when the input looses focus.
