Michael Weghorn 92a36bbd4f [API CHANGE] a11y: Switch AccessibleRelationType to enum
Switch css::accessibility::AccessibleRelationType
from integer constants to an enum.

This provides more type safety and improves the debugging
experience, e.g. GDB now prints

    com::sun::accessibility::AccessibleRelationType::AccessibleRelationType_CONTENT_FLOWS_TO

instead of just "2" when printing the value of a
corresponding variable, so it's no longer necessary
to manually look up what constant has that integer
value to know what relation this refers to.

offapi/com/sun/star/accessibility/AccessibleRelationType.idl
had this comment:

> <p>We are using constants instead of a more typesafe enum.  The reason

However, the a11y UNO API is internal (not published),
so that shouldn't be a concern.
