Daneel bbeb4d87ac patches: fix commit msg line lengths, add remaining fixes
- 0007/0008: rewrap long commit message lines (>78 chars created by
  package name generalization); Emacs commit-msg hook enforces 78 char
  limit
- 0006: add paragraph break before 'Block-style cursors' sentence in
  macos.texi VoiceOver section; update hunk count accordingly
- 0000/0007: add comment documenting intentional ns_zoom_face_is_selected
  / ns_ax_face_is_selected duplication (independent series design)

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] ns: announce overlay completion candidates for VoiceOver
Overlay-based completion UIs (Vertico, Ivy, Icomplete) render candidates
via overlay before-string/after-string properties. Without this change
VoiceOver cannot read overlay-based completion UIs.
* src/nsterm.m (ns_ax_face_is_selected): New static function; matches
'current', 'selected', 'selection' in face symbol names.
(ns_ax_selected_overlay_text): New function; scan overlay strings in
the window for a line with a selected face; return its text.
(EmacsAccessibilityBuffer(Notifications)
postAccessibilityNotificationsForFrame:): Handle BUF_OVERLAY_MODIFF
changes independently of text changes. Use BUF_CHARS_MODIFF to gate
ValueChanged; keep overlay_modiff out of ensureTextCache to prevent a
race where an AX query consumes the change before notification.
