iOS support for AccessKit

Cross-platform abstraction over accessibility APIs

AccessKit makes it easier to implement accessibility, for screen readers and other assistive technologies, in toolkits that render their own user interface elements. It provides a cross-platform abstraction over accessibility APIs, so toolkit developers only have to implement accessibility once. The aim of this project is to create the UIKit backend to support devices running iOS, feature-parity with Android being the target. An existing UI toolkit will be modified to show how other open-source UI projects can take advantage of this new capability.
