 When using a query string parameter to autofocus in the customizer, it is
 broken by using the sanitize_text_field() function.

 Example: customize.php?autofocus%5Bsection%5D=colors

 Line 89 of /wp-admin/customize.php uses sanitize_text_field to sanitize
 the `$_REQUEST['autofocus']` variable. However, this variable is an array,
 not a string. Therefore it will always return an empty string when being
 sanitized this way.
