When the Compose content container is focused, but nothing in compose is focused, VoiceOver will highlight the content container and call its role "JavaAxIgnore". This PR changes the role of
ComposeSceneAccessiblefor this case to UNKNOWN, which seems to fix the issue. VoiceOver instead picks and highlights the first element of interest (e.g. button or text) inside Compose.Fixes https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CMP-9503/Voice-Over-focuses-on-WindowSkiaLayerComponent-says-JavaAxIgnore
