Bug 1852190 implemented a framework for Windows accessibility API testing via Python snippets in browser tests. We need to extend this to Linux so we can test our ATK code too.

This adds setup code and utility functions for ATK to the Python environment.
I also needed to prevent front-end accessibility checks (AccessibilityUtils) from force disabling accessibility for a11y engine tests.
Although the tests re-enabled it anyway, this seems to break AT-SPI's interaction with our ApplicationAccessible.
Disabling it really doesn't make sense in this case anyway.
This patch includes a simple role test to show all of this working.

For reference, here are some notes about getting this working on CI:
- Per the patch, I needed to modify taskcluster/docker/recipes/ubuntu1804-test-system-setup-base.sh to get a new system package installed via apt-get.
- On try, this will trigger the docker-image-ubuntu1804-test-base job.
- Unfortunately, this fails with a 404 during apt-get update. I asked Glandium and he noted that "you need to trigger docker-image-ubuntu1804-base because its dependencies have expired".
- After that, the docker-image-ubuntu1804-test-base job will succeed, though I had to manually add it rather than retriggering.
Eventually, this won't be configured in-tree for tests. Per jmaher's comment:
For the new Ubuntu2204 Wayland, currently this is a VM, but also a lot of tests are not running there yet (will be more as we move into the new year). This would require :aerickson in the relops team to create a new VM image.
