[A11y] RangeSlider should have 2 focus node (#172729)
internal: b/430179234 : in a11y mode, you can't use tab to focus on the
handles of the rangeslider, only use a11y shortcut to focus on them.

rangeSlider is a widget with 1 renderObject but 2 semanticsNode because
it has 2 inputs, each handle of the rangeSlider has its own actions. To
achieve that, rangeSlider creates its semantics node using the
assembleSemantics function.

For the same reason, rangeSlider should have 2 focus nodes instead of 1,
and it should be linked to semantics to support tab to navigate in a11y
mode.

This PR is to add 2 focus nodes to the range slider, link them to a11y
and also highlight the thumb when focused.
