This PR fixes a minor issue that came up here: flutter/flutter#95230 (comment)

When Orca has "Speak object under mouse" enabled, it tries to get the text range extents for any object that implements the AtkText interface and gets a bit confused by the AtkText stub implementation that merely returns null for get_text.

The screen reader works, but the following warning gets printed whenever moving the mouse cursor over a text label:

Atk-CRITICAL **: atk_text_get_range_extents: assertion 'start_offset >= 0 && start_offset < end_offset' failed

Removing the stub implementation helps to avoid the issue that Orca would try to call atk_text_get_range_extents() with start_offset=0 and end_offset=0:
