Summary AX: align with other browsers on handling of focused elements and aria-hidden

Discussed here: https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/2181#discussion_r2002079011 The consensus seems to be that if focus lands inside an aria-hidden region, and an event handler doesn't move focus elsewhere before one animation frame, then the aria-hidden flag should be ignored and that region should be essentially permanently un-hidden. Previously, WebKit's behavior was to ignore aria-hidden when focus was inside but not persist that change.
