Allow accessibility selectors needed for external window management tools

Browse source 
Tools like Easy Move+Resize use the macOS Accessibility API to find and
move/resize windows. They call AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition to get the
content view, then use kAXWindowAttribute to navigate to the parent window.

The isAccessibilitySelectorAllowed: whitelist was blocking these selectors,
preventing external window management tools (Easy Move+Resize) from working with
kitty.

Fixes #5561
