It seems that the accessibility role returned by the MenuAccessibility class is not correct for top level menu.

Added a condition check to return the accessibility role as `NSAccessibilityMenuBarItemRole` in stead of `NSAccessibilityMenuRole` for top level menu whose parent is `menubar`. 

The solution works correctly for screen magnifier as well as voice over. 

A manual test case is added to verify the fix.

Note: Tried implementing few a11y methods to fix but for top level menu with `NSAccessibilityMenuRole` doesn't return the a11y label.
