Port `gail_focus_notify` from using the deprecated
`atk_focus_tracker_notify` to notify about the new
focus object. Notify of a state of the focused state
instead, as suggested in the
`atk_focus_tracker_notify` doc [1].
Using the deprecated function e.g. resulted in
the Orca screen reader no longer announcing
initial focus on editable comboboxes in
LibreOffice Writer's toolbars after Orca dropped
support for the deprecated "focus" AT-SPI event
in this commit [2]:

Remove the on_focus handler for the LibreOffice script
The "focus:" event was deprecated many years ago. If the expected
"object:state-changed:focused" event is absent, that bug should
be fixed.
This commit makes the announcement work again.
It also fixes the scenario described in [3].
