<Swing Dev> [11]RFR:JDK-8208640: [a11y][macosx] Unable to navigate between Radiobuttons in Radio group using keyboard

[Krishna Addepalli]

Hi Sergey,

I also was looking not to duplicate the code, but the inheritance hierarchy for AquaButtonRadioUI.java is different from MetalRadioButtonUI.java, although both ultimately derive from BasicButtonUI. As Phil pointed out, I wanted to keep the side effects to a minimum, so I copied the code from BasicRadioButtonUI.

As for the bug JDK-8167160, it was raised because of JDK-8154043 which was an issue about keyboard navigation for RadioButtons. 
Semyon wrote the test for that, and that test was modified in JDK-8167160, to simply exclude the test for Aqua L&F for mac.

With my current changes, the behavior has been equalized with Metal L&F, so I re-enabled the test for Aqua.

Thanks,
Krishna

The bug says
 >This is not the native tabbed scrolling for Native buttons.

The code review says

I don't know what the first of these means and I don't know what the second of these is saying you have to do. System Preferences is a big UI and it is bizarre to have to do something like that to make it possible to navigate radio buttons.

The problem here is that no one seems to be able to do this navigation with a Swing app using the default Aqual L&F. We may now be doing something different than native .. but at least it works as other L&Fs instead of not at all.
