Michael Klimushyn 177353d759 Fix a11y in embedded Android views post O (flutter/engine#9321)
This patch works around Android's limitations on reflection. With it embedded
platform views that use virtual node hierarchy trees should be accessible on all
Android versions to date.

The workarounds in this PR are brittle. Ideally the methods would be made public
in Android instead so we wouldn't need to employ tactics like these to work
around the missing methods.

`AccessibilityNodeInfo#getChildId` is blocked from any type of reflection
access, but the underlying private member that the getter accesses,
`mChildNodeIds`, can still be reflected on. On Android versions where we can't
access the getter, this patch falls back on reflectively accessing the field
instead. Unfortunately this field is a
[`LongArray`](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/util/LongArray.java),
a utility data class private to Android. So in this case we're reflecting to
both access the member and actually read data from it, since we need to use
reflection to call `LongArray.get(index)`.

`AccessibilityNodeInfo#getParent()` doesn't have any lucky available underlying
members. However, `AccessibilityNodeInfo` itself is `Parcelable`, and
`mParentNodeId` is one of the pieces of data that's written to a parcel via
`AccessibilityNodeInfo#writeToParcel`. So the fallback for that is to write the
node to a parcel and then read the parcel for the ID in question. This will
break if the implementation details of `AccessibilityNodeInfo#writeToParcel`
ever change. The details have already changed enough in the past to require two
sets of logic for reading from the parcel.
