Martín Lucas Golini 4baa4ae4b1 Split accessibility backends, fix CI regressions and document architecture
CI fixes for the previous commit:
- Windows: announce one BoundsChanged on the window root when the scene
  resizes, so UIA raises LayoutInvalidated again. Widgets still do not
  report their own bounds changes.
- macOS: collapse identical pending notifications per element within one
  update, so one text selection change posts a single
  AXSelectedTextChanged. Created/Destroyed keep every occurrence, in order.
- MinGW: link the UIA test harness with -municode and uuid, which fixes
  the nightly MinGW build.

Backends:
- Split the AT-SPI backend into a private header plus connection, events,
  tree/marshalling and method files. Break the 600-line D-Bus dispatcher
  into one handler per interface.
- Split the UIA backend into a private header plus core, element provider
  and text range files.
- Share hasState/hasAction in accessibilitybackend.hpp instead of three
  per-backend copies.

CI and docs:
- Run test_atspi.py --multi-window on Linux: closing a secondary window
  while an AT-SPI client stays connected.
- Add docs/articles/uiaccessibilityarchitecture.md (layer map, files,
  invariants, per-backend layout, common tasks, test matrix) and link it
  from the articles index and the accessibility guide.
- Add a unit test for the single layout notification on scene resize.

Work on the accessibility implementation UI accessibility architecture UI accessibility for the application-facing behavior
Add an interactive chart UI charts Application UI authoring for placement and sizing
Work on eterm Kitty support Keyboard protocol, graphics protocol The corresponding src/modules/eterm/ implementation and tests

Native application widgets and HTML documents have different layout behavior. Start with application UI authoring for toolbars, dialogs, forms, and editor windows; start with HTML compatibility for UIWebView and UIMarkdownView.
