Fix aria.js bugs: incorrect role element problem, mobile focus problem, tippy problem (#23450) (#23486)

Before: the `aria.js` is still buggy in some cases.

After: tested with AppleVoice, Android TalkBack (I tested it with 1.19
again)

* Fix incorrect dropdown init code
* Fix incorrect role element (the menu role should be on the `$menu`
element, but not on the `$focusable`)
* Fix the focus-show-click-hide problem on mobile. Now the language menu
works as expected
* Fix incorrect dropdown template function setting
* Clarify the logic in aria.js
* Fix incorrect tippy `setProps` after `destroy`
* Improve comments
* Implement the layout proposed by #19861

# Background
This document is used as aria/accessibility(a11y) reference for future developers.
There are a lot of a11y problems in the Fomantic UI library. This `aria.js` is used
as a workaround to make the UI more accessible.
The `aria.js` is designed to avoid touching the official Fomantic UI library,
and to be as independent as possible, so it can be easily modified/removed in the future.
To test the aria/accessibility with screen readers, developers can use the following steps:
* On macOS, you can use VoiceOver.
* Press `Command + F5` to turn on VoiceOver.
* Try to operate the UI with keyboard-only.
* Use Tab/Shift+Tab to switch focus between elements.
* Arrow keys to navigate between menu/combobox items (only aria-active, not really focused).
* Press Enter to trigger the aria-active element.
* On Android, you can use TalkBack.
* Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> TalkBack, turn it on.
* Long-press or press+swipe to switch the aria-active element (not really focused).
* Double-tap means old single-tap on the aria-active element.
* Double-finger swipe means old single-finger swipe.
* TODO: on Windows, on Linux, on iOS

# Dropdown
## ARIA Dropdown
## Fomantic UI Dropdown
Fomantic Dropdown is designed to be used for many purposes:
* Menu (the profile menu in navbar, the language menu in footer)
* Popup (the branch/tag panel, the review box)
* Simple `<select>` , used in many forms
* Searchable option-list with static items (used in many forms)
* Searchable option-list with dynamic items (ajax)
* Searchable multiple selection option-list with dynamic items: the repo topic setting
* More complex usages, like the Issue Label selector
Fomantic Dropdown requires that the focus must be on its primary element.
If the focus changes, it hides or panics.
At the moment, `aria.js` only tries to partially resolve the a11y problems for dropdowns with items.
There are different solutions:
* combobox + listbox + option
* menu + menuitem
At the moment, `menu + menuitem` seems to work better with Fomantic UI Dropdown, so we only use it now.
* combobox + listbox + option:
* https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/combobox/
* A combobox is an input widget with an associated popup that enables users to select a value for the combobox from
a collection of possible values. In some implementations, the popup presents allowed values, while in other implementations,
the popup presents suggested values, and users may either select one of the suggestions or type a value.
* menu + menuitem:
* https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/menubar/
* A menu is a widget that offers a list of choices to the user, such as a set of actions or functions.
```html
<div>
<input role="combobox" aria-haspopup="listbox" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="the-menu-listbox" aria-activedescendant="item-id-123456">
<ul id="the-menu-listbox" role="listbox">
<li role="option" id="item-id-123456" aria-selected="true">
<a tabindex="-1" href="....">....</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
```
The current approach is: detect if the dropdown has an input,
if yes, it works like a combobox, otherwise it works like a menu.
Multiple selection dropdown is not well-supported yet, it needs more work.
Some important pages for dropdown testing:
## Fomantic UI Dropdown
* Home(dashboard) page, the "Create Repo" / "Profile" / "Language" menu.
* Create New Repo page, a lot of dropdowns as combobox.
* Collaborators page, the "permission" dropdown (the old behavior was not quite good, it just works).
