…onger a search field. Re nvaccess#10002.

Thanks to UIA auto-select for eit fields, it is no longer necessary to treat Edge's address omnibar as a dedicated search field, in that search results will be announced automatically. This also resolves an issue where NVDA kept playing search suggestion sound when Edge was maximized due to odd controller for event being fired by omnibar itself.

Will this still announce suggestions on the address bar? Honestly, it's not clear to me whether this pr would introduce any disadvantages to the user.
