Report when switching to a new tab if not otherwise reported #4301

@jcsteh: I belief this problem has a broader scope than only the web. For example, if you open the font dialog in Word (Control+d), I belief NVDA should report that you are in a tab control, but it doesn't by default. This could be confusing for users, since they do not know that they are inside a tab control right from opening the dialog. |

That's a slightly different issue. This issue (related to browsers) relates to reporting changes in the active tab even when focus isn't within the tab. In Word's case, focus is within the tab, but Word doesn't appear to expose a container for the tab content (property page object). (I'd argue that's a deficiency in Word, but such is life.) Anyway, if you want that addressed, please file a separate issue. Thanks. Regarding the original issue, setting to p4, since I think this is a nice to have but not at all essential. |

In a browser, when you're outside a document (e.g. on the address bar), you don't know what tab is active if you switch tabs by, for example, pressing control+tab. It'd be nice if this could be reported. Both Firefox and Chrome (currently in Canary) now fire a selection event on a newly selected tab.
However, we don't want to do this if the tab name would otherwise be reported; e.g. when within the document, the document name gets reported, which would be redundant. We could perhaps filter this out based on names in the focus ancestry. Also, we obviously don't want to report it if the tab control is focused.
