Subject: [PATCH 4/8] ns: add interactive span elements for Tab navigation

* src/nsterm.m (ns_ax_scan_interactive_spans): New function; scans the
visible portion of a buffer for interactive text properties
(ns-ax-widget, ns-ax-button, ns-ax-follow-link, ns-ax-org-link,
mouse-face, overlay keymap) and builds EmacsAccessibilityInteractiveSpan
elements.
(EmacsAccessibilityInteractiveSpan): Implement AXButton and AXLink
elements with an AXPress action that sends a synthetic TAB keystroke.
(EmacsAccessibilityBuffer(InteractiveSpans)): New category.
(accessibilityChildrenInNavigationOrder): Return cached span array,
rebuilding lazily when interactiveSpansDirty is set.
