tdf#157639 a11y: Set proper role for status bar
Set `css::accessibility::AccessibleRole::STATUS_BAR`
as role for the `VclHBox`/`VclVBox` instances created
for `GtkStatusBar` nodes in .ui files, so that they
are properly exposed to the accessibility layer.
This is e.g. required to make NVDA's feature to announce
the status bar content (when pressing NVDA+End) work.
An additional change on NVDA side is needed to make the
announcement work. Pending PR:
