Eliminated handling of the Clickable property and its default value in GesturePlatformManager.Android.cs, as it is no required for gesture management.

Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes an accessibility issue on Android where TapGestureRecognizer cannot be activated using Android TalkBack's double-tap gesture. The fix removes the forced setting of the Clickable property to true on platform views, which was causing TalkBack to send accessibility actions instead of the raw motion events that MAUI's gesture pipeline requires.
- Removes the
_clickableDefaultValuefield and its associated logic - Eliminates the forced setting of
platformView.Clickable = true - Restores the cleanup logic that previously reset the clickable property

Description of Change
Setting platformView.Clickable = true caused TalkBack to send an accessibility ACTION_CLICK instead of synthesizing the underlying MotionEvents. MAUI’s gesture pipeline (Tap / Pan / Pinch detectors) depends on raw MotionEvents; since no OnClick listener forwarded ACTION_CLICK to the gesture recognizers, the double‑tap activation never reached TapGestureRecognizer.
