Determined to be VoiceOver bug. Bug moved to VoiceOver component. No further fix from WebKit needed

As of Mac OS 11.4 aria-current is announced by VoiceOver BUT only if interacting using VO- navigation. If you navigate using only arrow keys WITH VO- modifiers aria-current is not announced.

Confirming the above behavior still persists as of Mac OS 12.6 (21G115) Repro steps below: Using keyboard shortcuts 1. Start VoiceOver 2. Go to https://codepen.io/toddlr/pen/jOVMRQB 3. Press the tab key to move focus into the ARIA tree instance 4. Press the up/down arrow key to move focus to the ARIA treeitem node with the aria-current attribute 4. Observe VoiceOver does not announce the aria-current state
