patches: systematic notification strategy — eliminate double-speech

SelectedTextChanged → only for selection changes (mark active)
AnnouncementRequested → only for cursor moves (char/line)
Never both for the same event. Fixes double-speech globally.

* src/nsterm.h: Add EmacsAccessibilityElement, EmacsAccessibilityBuffer, * src/nsterm.m: Notification strategy: SelectedTextChanged only for
EmacsAccessibilityModeLine, EmacsAccessibilityInteractiveSpan classes; mark/selection changes; AnnouncementRequested only for cursor moves.
ns_ax_visible_run struct; new EmacsView ivars for AX tree. Eliminates double-speech systematically — VoiceOver cannot suppress
SelectedTextChanged speech even with High-priority announcements.
* src/nsterm.m: Implement full VoiceOver support: Character moves announce char AT point (evil block-cursor correct).
- AXBoundsForRange for macOS Zoom cursor tracking Line moves announce full line text or completion candidate.
- EmacsAccessibilityBuffer per window (AXTextArea/AXTextField)
- Line and character navigation announcements
- Interactive span Tab navigation (buttons, links, completions)
- Completion announcement with 4-fallback chain
- Thread-safe: AX getters use cachedText/visibleRuns (main thread);
no Lisp calls from AX server thread
- GC-safe: span-scanning symbols via DEFSYM in syms_of_nsterm
- SelectedTextChanged only for focused element (prevents double-speech
in completions buffer)
- Evil block-cursor: AnnouncementRequested(char AT point) posted
after SelectedTextChanged; VoiceOver cancels its own reading
