AX: `contextmenu` event is not fired for either keyboard event or AT event (e.g. VoiceOver's VO+Shift+M)

A colleague at Slack reached out to mention their web app is lacking functionality related to context menus, due to this WebKit bug.

Keyboard Access
- Ctrl+Return is the AppKit convention for triggering a contextual menu in native apps, but this doesn't trigger the menu or the `contextmenu` event in Safari/WebKit 

Assistive Technology
- Easiest example is probably VoiceOver's VO+Shift+M (depending on VO settings, Ctrl+Opt+Shift+M) which triggers the menu as intended, but doesn't fire the `contextmenu` event. 

Both of these should be fixed in WebKit.

I can reproduce the issue only when the element is inside an iframe (let me know if anyone experiences otherwise).
