Emmanuele Bassi c63087a563 Remove ATK
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
