To support a snapped Orca screen reader, a new interface is required to give to it full access to the accessibility bus. This patch adds a specific interface that allows the Orca screen reader to have full access to the required elements, and also allows any snapped program to send accessibility events to the screen reader. To simplify the design and guarantee backwards compatibility, the snap name for the screen reader is hardcoded.

To support a snapped Orca screen reader, a new interface is required to give to it full access to the accessibility bus.
This patch adds a specific interface that allows the Orca screen reader to have full access to the required elements, and also allows any snapped program to send accessibility events to the screen reader.
To simplify the design and guarantee backwards compatibility, the snap name for the screen reader is hardcoded. This results in a much simpler and straightforward patch than #16292 , but less flexible (but since there aren't in the horizon any replacement for Orca, that shouldn't be a problem).
