Forms Combobox options not marked "invisible" when combobox is collapsed

Project Member Reported by leberly@chromium.org, Mar 16 2018

Issue description

Google Chrome 67.0.3369.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)
Firmware Version Google_Samus.6300.276.0
Flag enabled: #enable-experimental-accessibility-features

# Enable Select To Speak in Chrome Accessibility Settings
# Create a new Google Form, the first default question includes a combobox that lists items such as short answer, paragraph, multiple choice, etc. Keep it collapsed.
# Hold down search button while dragging highlight around this combobox while it is collapsed. 

However, this does NOT happen on the ARIA example page for List with InLine Autocomplete: https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/NOTE-wai-aria-practices-1.1-20171214/examples/combobox/aria1.1pattern/listbox-combo.html

This also does NOT happen when ChromeVox has focus on this combobox. 

Please kindly revert to a11y-testers if this is an authoring error on the Forms side and I'll open an internal bug.

Summary: Forms Combobox options not marked "invisible" when combobox is collapsed (was: STS reading all options in collapsed ComboBox in Forms editor )
This also happens with Chromevox when it does *not* have focus on the combobox -- you can also get to the options which don't seem visible.

Both Chromevox and Select-to-Speak use the automation tree to decide what to read/highlight, probably we should find a way to see if these items can not be in the tree until the combobox is expanded.

In a normal combobox, the options are all just "invisible" when not expanded, but in Forms it seems they aren't marked invisible. That's probably the bug, I'll re-name this to reflect that.
Components: UI>Accessibility>SelectToSpeak
Moving from just having STS label to also having the UI>Accessibility>SelectToSpeak component to make searching easier in the future.
