Android A11Y: Fix deadlock in QtAndroidAccessibility::runInObjectContext()

On android the event loop is normally blocked, when the application
is suspended, e.g. when it enters the background or when the screen is
locked (see android.app.background_running). This leads to a problem
when we try to process events after this happens, e.g. when android
sends us an ACTION_CLEAR_ACCESSIBILITY_FOCUS event after the event loop
is suspended. While handling it we eventually call
QtAndroidAccessibility::runInObjectContext() which tries to do a
blocking call on the object context, however, with the event loop being
suspended we run into a deadlock which leads to an ANR.  So we need to
make sure to never make a blocking call while the event loop is
suspended.
