Add a commandline switch for enabling UI Automation support

Project Member Reported by nek...@chromium.org, May 22 2018

Issue description

We need a commandline switch that would be available only on Windows if possible and which could turn on and off UI Automation support. Basically, it should be a toggle between IAccessible2 and UI Automation.
I suggest:
--use-accessibility-api=ia2 for IAccessible2
--use-accessibility-api=uia for UI Automation.
