Windows: Inform accessibility system about the focused child item

When a complex object (i.e. one with children that are themselves not
fully exposed objects) gets focus, then we need to inform the
accessibility system about which child object actually has focus. This
was only done for item views, but not for other complex widgets.

An editable QComboBoxes is the focus proxy for its line edit. The line
edit never gets focus itself (QComboBox forwards relevant events),
and is the accessible child item with index 1. So when an editable
combobox gets focus, it needs to raise the automation event for the
line edit child.

Implement QAccessibleComboBox::focusChild to return the interface to the
lineedit for editable comboboxes so that the UI Automation bridge can
correctly notify about the focus being moved to an editable text input
field.

Fixes: QTBUG-107572
Pick-to: 6.4 6.2
