Focused nodes and focus owners

[Andy Goryachev]

Michael:

Thank you for clarifications! So, are these new properties really required to fix https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8313956, or it can be fixed by improving event handling?

Subject: Re: Focused nodes and focus owners
The added properties and pseudo-classes would basically complete the
representation of focus-related states of JavaFX nodes. But I don't
think it's something an application can't implement in other ways.

What prompted this idea is the discussion in PR 1210 [0], where the
behavior of the reproducer program could be preceived as unintuitive:
The table retains the `focus-within` flag, even though it is not the
focus owner of the application. The addition of `focus-owner-within`
would be a solution for this specific problem.
