Description of Change
Resolves #16090.
Exposes an api through System Preferences allowing an app to determine whether or not it's been designated a trusted accessibility client, where that means an app that is allowed to modify the way users interact with their computer.
This API takes a prompt argument; if
false
is passed then the result will be returned silently, and iftrue
is passed then a dialog (like the one below) will be shown./cc @miniak @4ndv
