macOS Accessibility: flag all synthetic elements as unignored

This saves us a few more roundtrips. For rows and columns we could check if their accessibilityFrame instersects with the table and so ignore rows and columns that are outside of the view, but I'm observing weird corruptions in the list returned by NSAccessibilityUnignoredChildren when ignoring any objects.
