Add an Accessibility section to the README documenting that CLAUDE_CODE_ACCESSIBILITY=1 enables native terminal cursor tracking for both text input and dialog tab navigation, benefiting screen readers and screen magnifiers. Includes a dialog tab navigation reference table and cross-references to the env-vars and keybindings docs pages. Fixes anthropics#44906 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
CLAUDE_CODE_ACCESSIBILITY=1behaviorTab/Shift+Tab,Left/Right)Fixes #44906
Context
The current documentation mentions
CLAUDE_CODE_ACCESSIBILITYonly in the context of screen magnifiers tracking cursor position. It omits that the cursor also follows the selected tab in dialogs/menus (confirmed in changelog v2.1.94), and does not mention screen reader support at all. The tab navigation docs also lack any pointer back to the accessibility setting.Test plan
