Currently we use the value of spinner as it's `UIA_NamePropertyId` when a11y client application requests for it.
Ideally we should use the text set by `Node.setAccessibleText()` as the `UIA_NamePropertyId`.
For other controls such as Slider, ListView we use the text set by setAccessibleText() API.

Fix:
Use the text set by `Node.setAccessibleText()` as the `UIA_NamePropertyId`.
This means, when a11y client requests `UIA_NamePropertyId`, which is mapped to AccessibleAttribute.TEXT attribute,  we shall return the accessible text.
So we need another way to read out the VALUE of the Spinner.
- For this we need to implement `IValueProvider` pattern for Spinner control
- IValueProvider requests the value of the control using it's API `get_ValueString()`
- It required to introduce a new AccessibleAttribute `VALUE_STRING`
- IValueProvider  also reads out if the control is editable or not, hence added `EDITABLE `case in `Spinner.queryAccessibleAttribute()`
