a11y uia: Don't return "S_OK" and null text range

When QWindowsUiaTextProvider::RangeFromPoint was
called with a point that is not over any
character, it was previously returning S_OK
and a nullptr for the text range.

This is contrary to what the
ITextProvider::RangeFromPoint documentation [1]
says:

> If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK.
> Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

and

> The property never returns NULL.

Therefore, setting pRetVal to NULL and returning
S_OK at the same time is problematic.
Return UIA_E_ELEMENTNOTAVAILABLE instead for that
case, and only return S_OK when actually
setting a valid text range provider as well.

Ideally, this should return an empty range for
the character that is closest to the given point.
That one could be identified by iterating over all
characters and calculating their distance to the
given point, but that would be too expensive.
