 On mobile devices, the search input does not receive focus after clicking
 the Add a Widget button.

 To reproduce, on a mobile device or emulator (this is device dependent,
 not screen size, so you can't just reduce your desktop browser width):
 - Go to the Customizer
 - Select "Widgets"
 - Select the "Add a Widget" button
 - Widget Search will open, but focus is not placed within the search.
 Focus remains on the Add a Widget button, so screen readers don't have
 immediate access to the new overlay

 I believe the fix, if this method is approved, would be to remove the
 mobile check before focusing from `wp-admin/js/customize-controls.js` on
 [line 367 -
 369](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/3dd9628aae507ee027757b7c9c17506d4ff45ef8
 /wp-admin/js/customize-widgets.js#L367-L369) that was added by
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/32243.

 Apologies for the Github link, I couldn't track down the `customize-
 controls.js` file in trac.
