Henry Catalini Smith bfebd42a3d Fix @mention combobox semantics for screen reader accessibility (#11860)
Fixes https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/7668.

This was simpler to fix than my theory I posted on https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/7668 about needing to patch the upstream package. When testing in Firefox with the developer console open and warnings enabled, I noticed a `Empty string passed to getElementById()` warning coming from `@github/combobox-nav` while attempting to manage the `aria-activedescendant` attribute. Then I found this in the [README for that project](https://github.com/github/combobox-nav).

> Markup requirements:
> - Each option needs to have role="option" and a unique id

This was easy to miss, as we're using `@github/text-expander-element` and the combobox-nav package is one of _its_ dependencies. Without a unique ID on each dropdown menu item, `@github/text-expander-element` is unable to set an appropriate `aria-activedescendant` attribute on the textarea. Once that's in place, the screen reader announcements come to life beautifully.

While working on it I noticed the emoji picker combobox was affected by the same problem and patched that as well.
