1690342 - Support attributed text

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P1)

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

VoiceOver uses attributed text for rich text editing. Most notibly, when it encounters a link in editable text. This will allow us to distinguich between a single line AXTextField and a multiline AXTextArea.

It looks like we need to do this often. Adding it to the protocol/base class allows
us to not have to worry each time about typing and traversing past MOX accessibles.

A followup patch will make this work in e10s. This current implementation is non-ipc.

Depends on D103799

Created DocAccessibleTypes.ipdlh to put common types so they can be used in platform
extension protocols.

Now that we have attribtued text we don't need to advertise rich text editables as AXTextField.
