Improve element detection to include interactive elements without visible text,
and add convenient tool to find and tap elements by query.

Android enhancements:

  • Add clickable, focusable, enabled, selected, package fields to UiAutomatorXmlNode
  • Include clickable/focusable elements (buttons, icons, views) in element detection
  • Change default element type from 'text' to 'element' for more accurate categorization

New mobile_tap_element tool:

  • Search for elements by text, label, name, value, or identifier
  • Case-insensitive matching
  • Provides helpful errors when no match or multiple matches found
  • Automatically taps center of matching element
  • Works on both iOS and Android

@jpsim hey, I understand the top part of the pull request. Same from @benlmyers . I haven't merged because I haven't been able to reproduce a problem with an app. I need to allocate time to write a sample app that doesn't work with the current code. As for the _tap_element, is it to save time? or does it solve other issues for you? Can you please explain the need for another tool? (tools cost context :P )
