  AX: select / date input pickers are automatically expanded with iOS VoiceOver 
after swiping right from a text field, which is wrong and confusing

Reviewed by Chris Fleizach.

On iOS a form control's input view -- the software keyboard, a select's picker, 
a
date or color picker -- is presented as a side effect of focusing the control,
because on a touch screen the tap that focuses it is also the gesture that
activates it. -[WKContentView _elementDidFocus:] therefore looks for evidence 
that
the user drove the focus change, and one of the things it accepts is that some
element was already focused: continuity for a user moving between fields inside 
an
editing session that is already underway.

That cannot distinguish a user moving between fields from an assistive 
technology
moving focus because the user swiped to the next element. The result is a picker
opening for a control the user only moved their cursor to, and only when coming
from a control they had been editing.

Mark focus that follows an assistive technology's cursor, and don't let the Auto
policy present an input view for it.

AccessibilityRenderObject::setSelectedTextRange() also focuses, and is 
intentionally
excluded from setting the new preventInputViewPresentation flag, as it runs 
while
the user is editing rather than navigating.
