Cache QAccessibleInterfaces.

Since there already is a one-to-one relationship
between QObject and QAccessibleInterface it makes
little sense to create and destroy the interfaces
on each call to queryAccessibleInterface.

Add a cache and keep created interfaces around for
the lifetime of the corresponding QObject.

This changes the memory management rules: accessible
interfaces must no longer be deleted. If you get an
QAccessibleIntrface pointer that pointer will stay
valid as long as the corresponding QObject is not
deleted.

This also re-enables accessibility for Mac.

We limit the range of the IDs so that they are
useable for Windows directly.
That means we can get rid of the event cache there.

This is based on: Iebf2f374916fc70a9dd29e95f45a6444b85f6cee
