*fixes VNC clicks on WebView, Android 16 knoxvnc injects remote clicks via AccessibilityService.dispatchGesture(). On Android 16, Chromium WebView only acts on injected gestures that carry FLAG_IS_ACCESSIBILITY_TOOL, which the OS sets only when the injecting service declares android:isAccessibilityTool="true". Without it, taps reach native views but are silently dropped inside WebView web content (dropdown/buttons unclickable), while keyboard input still works.

Fixes VNC clicks on WebView, Android 16
knoxvnc injects remote clicks via AccessibilityService.dispatchGesture().
On Android 16, Chromium WebView only acts on injected gestures that carry
FLAG_IS_ACCESSIBILITY_TOOL, which the OS sets only when the injecting service
declares android:isAccessibilityTool="true". Without it, taps reach native
views but are silently dropped inside WebView web content (dropdown/buttons
unclickable), while keyboard input still works.
