Daneel fd523f501f v15.3: fix VoiceOver cursor not following during typing ...

Root cause (confirmed via WebKit/Chromium source): ValueChanged (edit)
and SelectedTextChanged (cursor move) are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE — apps
must never send both for the same user action. VoiceOver enters
'typing mode' on Edit notifications and suppresses/ignores concurrent
SelectionMove notifications, causing the cursor to appear stuck.

Fix: (1) Update cachedPoint inside the modiff branch so the
selection-move check doesn't trigger for edit-caused point changes.
(2) Change 'if' to 'else if' for explicit mutual exclusion.

Source: WebKit AXObjectCacheMac.mm — postTextStateChangePlatformNotification
vs postTextSelectionChangePlatformNotification are separate code paths
that never fire for the same event.
