handleChildrenChanged doesn't seem the right place to add this notification. Look at

AXObjectCache::handleTextChanged
AXObjectCache::valueChanged

Placing this codepath inside handleChildrenChanged allows us to update LabelledBy elements regardless of what the change is (since it won't always just be a text change). I collected samples as well and this addition doesn't have an impact on the cost of the method. 

The new test added in the latest patch tests for text changes, to add on to the value change we have covered in the password-input test.

No need to repeat this check here since it was already checked in the first expect() above and nothing has changed.
