fix: [a11y] fire AXMenuOpened event when ARIA menu is added to DOM (#50506)

* fix: fire AXMenuOpened event when a visible ARIA menu instance is added to the DOM

Co-authored-by: Keeley Hammond <khammond@slack-corp.com>

* fix: remove redundent FireMenuPopupEndForDeletedMenus

MENU_POPUP_END for deleted menus is already handled by
AXTreeManager::OnNodeWillBeDeleted, which
fires the event directly on the menu node before destruction.

Subject: fix: fire MENU_POPUP_START for dynamically created ARIA menus
When an ARIA menu element is dynamically created (e.g. via appendChild)
rather than being shown by toggling visibility, the AXMenuOpened event
was not fired. The OnIgnoredChanged path handles the visibility toggle
case, but OnAtomicUpdateFinished did not fire MENU_POPUP_START for
newly created menu nodes.
Previous attempts to fix this (crbug.com/1254875) were reverted because
they fired the event too eagerly in OnNodeCreated (before the tree was
fully formed) and without filtering, causing regressions with screen
readers on pages that misused role="menu".
This fix addresses both issues:
1. Fires MENU_POPUP_START in OnAtomicUpdateFinished (after the tree
update is complete) rather than in OnNodeCreated.
2. Only fires if the menu has at least one menuitem child, filtering
out false positives from misused role="menu" elements.
MENU_POPUP_END for deleted menus is already handled by
AXTreeManager::OnNodeWillBeDeleted, which fires the event directly
on the menu node before destruction.
The change is behind the DynamicMenuPopupEvents feature flag, disabled
by default, to allow stabilization before enabling by default. Enable
with --enable-features=DynamicMenuPopupEvents.
This patch can be removed when a CL containing the fix is accepted
into Chromium.
