Add a simple directional UI navigation example (#17224)
# Objective

Gamepad / directional navigation needs an example, for both teaching and
testing purposes.

## Solution

- Add a simple grid-based example.
- Fix an intermittent panic caused by a race condition with bevy_a11y
- Clean up small issues noticed in bevy_input_focus

## To do: this PR

- [x] figure out why "enter" isn't doing anything
- [x] change button color on interaction rather than printing
- [x] add on-screen directions
- [x] move to an asymmetric grid to catch bugs
- [x] ~~fix colors not resetting on button press~~ lol this is mostly
just a problem with hacking `Interaction` for this
- [x] swap to using observers + bubbling, rather than `Interaction`

## To do: future work

- when I increase the button size, such that there is no line break, the
text on the buttons is no longer centered :( EDIT: this is
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/16783
- add gamepad stick navigation
- add tools to find the nearest populated quadrant to make diagonal
inputs work
- add a `add_edges` method to `DirectionalNavigationMap`
- add a `add_grid` method to `DirectionalNavigationMap`
- make the example's layout more complex and realistic
- add tools to automatically generate this list
- add button shake on failed navigation rather than printing an error
- make Pressed events easier to mock: default fields, PointerId::Focus

## Testing

`cargo run --example directional_navigation`
