Summary of Changes

I noticed that the layout of the modal-select form field declares the $onchange option, but does not use it. This PR fixes that. I'm not sure if this is a new feature or a bugfix, since it fixes a broken behavior, but could also be judged as a new feature? I created it for 5.1 for now.

Testing Instructions

Edit a filter form like administrator/components/com_content/forms/filter_articles.xml and add a modal select field here. One example would be the following:

			<field
				name="test"
				type="article"
				label="COM_CONTENT_FIELD_SELECT_ARTICLE_LABEL"
				required="true"
				select="true"
				new="true"
				edit="true"
				clear="true"
				onchange="this.form.submit();"
			/>

(You have to add addfieldprefix="Joomla\Component\Content\Administrator\Field" to the <fieldset> of that XML, too.)

Go to the article list view in the backend and select an article from the modal.

Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request

Article is selected, nothing happens otherwise.

Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request

Article is selected, the filter form is submitted and the page is reloading. (Since there is no filter for this on the server side, the request doesn't change anything, but the onchange event is properly fired.)
