AX: The presence of a generic, insertion, or deletion prevents links from
being exposed as atomic accessibility elements, causing unnecessary
accessibility tree fragmentation

Reviewed by Joshua Hoffman.
Whether a link is split into its descendants or treated as an atomic
accessibility element is determined by
-[WebAccessibilityObjectWrapper containsUnnaturallySegmentedChildren]. This
function returned true (indicating the link
should be split) whenever a generic was present, which are obviously extremely
common and really shouldn't count as
a meaningful descendant. Links were also split when containing an insertion or
deletion, which isn't ideal since the
content within these elements is almost always plain-text.
This commit makes this function more tolerant of generics, insertions, and
deletions, motivated by markup from a real
page and distilled into layout test
accessibility/ios-simulator/link-with-generics-and-insertion-deletion.html.
