To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.
-- Alexander Pierce, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform

After the :can-focus change in the previous commit, widgets
need to set suitable focus and grab_focus implementations
to implement the desired focus behavior.
This commit does that for all widgets.
We are using (dddd) variants to store colors in variants,
which is dangerous now that GdkRGBA members are just floats.
Avoid passsing the GdkRGBA members directly to any varargs
functions.
Port GtkColorChooserWidget to use widget class actions.
Note that this also changes the names of
the GtkColorChooserWidget actions away from a generic
"context" prefix.
Change the reorder api to insert after a sibling,
so that moving to first place becomes reorder (... NULL).
And add a insert_after api that can replace the common
container_add / reorder_after (... NULL) combination.
Update all callers.
Remove all the old 2.x and 3.x version annotations.
GTK+ 4 is a new start, and from the perspective of a
GTK+ 4 developer all these APIs have been around since
the beginning.
When the color editor is visible, there is no way for the
application to know about the changes that are happening.
Fix this by emitting property notification for the "rgba"
property.

When selecting a swatch in a GtkColorChooserWidget the previously
selected swatch and the currently selected swatch are not redrawn. This
can leave the old swatch still marked with a checkbox even though a new
swatch has been selected.
Redraw the swatches after changing the selection.

Improve the color swatch accessible to set a proper role
depending on whether the swatch is selectable or not, and
set the checked atk state when appropriate.
