#17101: No more Title autosuggest for hyperlinks in Visual Editor

 '''In short :'''
 With the new hyperlinking window inside the Visual Editor that appeared
 with wordpress 3.1, we aren't suggested anymore a text in the Title field.

 '''In details :'''
 - Before Wp 3.1, according to the previous titles we may have entered, as
 soon as we started typing one or more letters, the Visual Editor was
 suggesting us texts for the Title field.
 - Just like almost any other empty field to fill in inside an html page.
 - That stopped with WP3.1, from now on we have to type it entirely every
 time, nothing is suggested anymore

 '''Why this is a problem :'''
 Wordpress is entirely about making blogging easier and faster for the
 webmasters. Removing Title autosuggestion forces us to type a title every
 time. With the previous system, we were able to re-use titles we had
 previously typed, possibly adapting them after we chose what autosuggested
 line to keep, saving us a lot of time.
 From my own experience, writing a long post taking 30 minutes containing a
 dozen hyperlinks, in average 3 more minutes are lost because of title
 typing and imagining. While it may seem to amount to nothing, that's __10%
 time lost__.

 '''Optional link :'''
 I first reported the problem [http://wordpress.org/support/topic
 /suggestion-that-hyperlink-creation-remembers-suggests-previous-
 titles?replies=16 in that page of the Worpdress forum], you may find it
 interesting .
 Andrew Nacin, a dev, found that explanation, in my opinion calling for a
 fix precisely :
 «''IIRC, browsers do autocomplete only when inputs have names. Our input
 is now missing a name. Adding it back should restore the autocomplete.
 Actually, it's also set to autocomplete="off", which probably doesn't help
 either :-)''»

 I hope I wasn't too confusing, this is my first bug report.
