Support :focus-visible CSS pseudoclass

[Kevin Rushforth]

I'd be interested in hearing from application developers as to whether 
and how they would use such a feature. As with all non-trivial features, 
we don't want to do it if only one or two developers are asking for it. 
This seems a reasonably new CSS feature; Firefox just added support in 
FF 85 released earlier this year and Safari still doesn't. That suggests 
it might be a bit early to adopt this for JavaFX.

Also, one thing that isn't clear is whether there would be any user 
visible change using the standard themes. I presume that the answer is 
"no", meaning that unless your stylesheets do anything with 
focus-visible, it will not affect the look and feel of the app. That 
should be stated explicitly

I also presume that there would be no application visible changes when 
using the standard themes, other than the presence of the two new 
read-only boolean properties?
