So ScrollAreaAccessibility and ScrollBarAccessibility classes do not implement any of the role based protocols in this list. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Accessibility/Conceptual/AccessibilityMacOSX/ImplementingAccessibilityforCustomControls.html.

The Voice Over behaviour is consistent with the old implementation and user can navigate and interact with the ScrollArea children hierarchy as expected.

> Also, some constants defined in JavaComponentAccessibility.m have been moved to JavaComponentAccessibility.h to avoid duplication in ScrollAreaAccessibility.
