### Proposed Changes

This updates several classes in order to make toolboxes and flyouts focusable:
- `IFlyout` is now an `IFocusableTree` with corresponding implementations in `FlyoutBase`.
- `IToolbox` is now an `IFocusableTree` with corresponding implementations in `Toolbox`.
- `IToolboxItem` is now an `IFocusableNode` with corresponding implementations in `ToolboxItem`.
- As the primary toolbox items, `ToolboxCategory` and `ToolboxSeparator` were updated to have -1 tab indexes and defined IDs to help `ToolboxItem` fulfill its contracted for `IFocusableNode.getFocusableElement`.

Each of these two new focusable trees have specific noteworthy behaviors behaviors:
- `Toolbox` will automatically indicate that its first item should be focused (if one is present), even overriding the ability to focus the toolbox's root (however there are some cases where that can still happen).
- `Toolbox` will automatically synchronize its selection state with its item nodes being focused.
- `FlyoutBase`, now being a focusable tree, has had a tab index of 0 added. Normally a tab index of -1 is all that's needed, but the keyboard navigation plugin specifically uses 0 for flyout so that the flyout is tabbable. This is a **new** tab stop being introduced.
- `FlyoutBase` holds a workspace (for rendering blocks) and, since `WorkspaceSvg` is already set up to be a focusable tree, it's represented as a subtree to `FlyoutBase`. This does introduce some wonky behaviors: the flyout's root will have passive focus while its contents have active focus. This could be manually disabled with some CSS if it ends up being a confusing user experience.
- Both `FlyoutBase` and `WorkspaceSvg` have built-in behaviors for detecting when a user tries navigating away from an open flyout to ensure that the flyout is closed when it's supposed to be. That is, the flyout is auto-hideable and a non-flyout, non-toolbox node has then been focused. This matches parity with the `T`/`Esc` flows supported in the keyboard navigation plugin playground.

One other thing to note: `Toolbox` had a few tests to update that were trying to reinit a toolbox without first disposing of it (which was caught by one of `FocusManager`'s state guardrails).

### Reason for Changes

This is part of an ongoing effort to ensure key components of Blockly are focusable so that they can be keyboard-navigable (with other needed changes yet both in Core Blockly and the keyboard navigation plugin).

### Test Coverage

No new tests have been added. It's certainly possible to add unit tests for the focusable configurations being introduced in this PR, but it may not be highly beneficial. It's largely assumed that the individual implementations should work due to a highly tested FocusManager, and it may be the case that the interactions of the components working together is far more important to verify (that is, the end user flows). The latter is planned to be tackled as part of RaspberryPiFoundation#8915.

### Documentation

No documentation changes should be needed here.

)

* test(BlockSvg): Add tests for setParent(null) when dragging

  Add tests for scenarios where block(s) unrelated to the block
  being disconnected has/have been marked as as being dragged.
  Due to a bug in BlockSvg.prototype.setParent, one of these
  fails in the case that the dragging block is not a top
  block.

  Also add a check to assertNonParentAndOrphan to check that the
  orphan block's SVG root's parent is the workspace's canvass
  (i.e., that orphan is a top-level block in the DOM too).

* fix(BlockSvg): Fix bug in setParent re: dragging block

  Fix an incorrect assumption in setParent: the topmost block
  whose root SVG element has the blocklyDragging class may not
  actually be a top-level block.

* refactor(BlockDragStrategy): Hide connection preview earlier

* chore(BlockDragStrategy): prefer ?. to !.

  Per nit on PR RaspberryPiFoundation#8934.

* fix(BlockSvg): Spelling: "canvass" -> "canvas"

## The details
### Resolves

Fixes RaspberryPiFoundation#8913
Fixes RaspberryPiFoundation#8914
Fixes part of RaspberryPiFoundation#8771

### Proposed Changes

This updates `WorkspaceSvg` and `BlockSvg` to be focusable, that is, it makes the workspace a `IFocusableTree` and blocks `IFocusableNode`s.

Some important details:
- While this introduces focusable tree support for `Workspace` it doesn't include two other components that are obviously needed by the keyboard navigation plugin's playground: fields and connections. These will be introduced in subsequent PRs.
- Blocks are set up to automatically synchronize their selection state with their focus state. This will eventually help to replace `LineCursor`'s responsibility for managing selection state itself.
- The tabindex property for the workspace and its ARIA label have been moved down to the `.blocklyWorkspace` element itself rather than its wrapper. This helps address some tab stop issues that are already addressed in the plugin (via monkey patches), but also to ensure that the workspace's main SVG group interacts correctly with `FocusManager`.
- `WorkspaceSvg` is being initially set up to default to its first top block when being focused for the first time. This is to match parity with the keyboard navigation plugin, however the latter also has functionality for defaulting to a position when no blocks are present. It's not clear how to actually support this under the new focus-based system (without adding an ephemeral element on which to focus), or if it's even necessary (since the workspace root can hold focus).

### Reason for Changes

This is part of an ongoing effort to ensure key components of Blockly are focusable so that they can be keyboard-navigable (with other needed changes yet both in Core Blockly and the keyboard navigation plugin).

The CSS work here is far more extensive than should go in this or any of
the structural branches. Instead, proper rendering will be done via the
plugin and eventually merged into Core once finalized.
It needed a unique ID and to be properly hooked up to node retrieval.

Bases differ too much, so this won't be a useful diff without a rebase.
