tdf#123864 a11y: Add new AccessibleStateType::CHECKABLE
Both, AT-SPI and IAccessible2 have a CHECKABLE state that describes whether an item is checkable, i.e. whether it can be checked, i.e. whether it is possible that this object can have the CHECKED state. So far, LibreOffice didn't have any equivalent, and e.g. a checkbox that is ticked would report state CHECKED but not CHECKABLE, which is inconsistent. ("How can an object that is not checkable be checked?") For an unchecked object, the fact that it can be checked is unclear since that one will just have the CHECKED state not being present. Introduce a new a11y state, `AccessibleStateType::CHECKABLE` with the same semantics as in AT-SPI and IAccessible2 to bridge the gap. Map the state in winaccessibility (to IAccessible2), gtk3 and an the Qt-based VCL plugins, which are responsible for mapping to AT-SPI. While Qt has an equivalent state flag, it currently doesn't map that to AT-SPI yet. Pending upstream Gerrit change to implement that: [1] The gtk4 a11y API doesn't have a direct equivalent and will be handled separately in a following commit. Reporting the new state where applicable will be implemented in following commits.
