IAccessible2 "labelled-by" property not supported #17436

Description

@michaelweghorn

IAccessible2 has an IA2_RELATION_LABELLED_BY relation type, see https://accessibility.linuxfoundation.org/a11yspecs/ia2/docs/html/group__grp_relations.html#ga7bbace7ffb57476b75d621af2e27d1ff

However, that one is not taken into account by NVDA's "labeledBy" property for objects, as can be seen for example with LibreOffice that implements handling of the IAccessible2 property.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. start NVDA
  2. Start LibreOffice Writer
  3. open the options dialog: "Tools" -> "Options", go to the "User Data" page
  4. move focus to the "Company" text edit
  5. open NVDA's Python console (Ctrl+Insert+Z)
  6. try to print the object that the currently focused edit is labelled by:
>>> focus.labeledBy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\tools\cygwin\home\user\development\git\nvda\source\baseObject.py", line 59, in __get__
    return instance._getPropertyViaCache(self.fget)

  File "C:\tools\cygwin\home\user\development\git\nvda\source\NVDAObjects\IAccessible\__init__.py", line 1167, in _get_labeledBy
    (pacc, accChild) = IAccessibleHandler.accNavigate(
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object

Actual behavior:

An error occurs, s. above

Expected behavior:

The label that is referenced by the IA2_RELATION_LABELLED_BY relation should be returned/printed in the Python console.
