…e - 1 (#34192)

This PR addresses the UI test image failures that occurred in the
inflight/candidate branch #34173 and
includes updates to improve rendering and test stability across
platforms.

- Added the iOS 26 base images for these test cases:
EmptyViewShouldRemeasureWhenParentLayoutChanges,
VerifyEditorKeyboardVisibilityToggle,
VerifyEditorVerticalTextAlignmentWhenVisibilityToggled,
Issue25558VerifyImageButtonAspects, ImageShouldScaleProperly,
VerifyEntryKeyboardVisibilityToggle,
Issue31445DuplicateTitleIconDoesNotAppear.
- BackButtonBehaviorTriggersWithCollectionView: Added TapBackArrow
without an ID for iOS 26.
- OnBackButtonPressedShouldFireForShellNavigationBarButton,
CVGroupHFTemplateWithObservableCollection, and
VerifyCollectionViewVerticalOffset: Restricted these tests due to a bug
issue.
-
CollectionViewInsideCarouselViewShouldNotThrowIndexOutOfRangeException:
Added additional scrolling for macOS to scroll to the end of the page.
- Resaved the LightTheme_VerifyVisualState and
DarkTheme_VerifyVisualState test images due to the fix in PR
#28309
- ValidateEntryClearButtonVisibilityBehavior, PageShouldNotScroll,
EditorShouldNotMoveToBottom: Added a common iOS crop.

ScrollToIndexZeroShowsFirstItemNotHeader
VerifyScrollToIndexWithHeader
Root Cause:
Both tests fail because position-based scrolling adjusts for headers
twice due to overlapping logic introduced in two PRs.
Solution:
Keep the position adjustment changes from PR
#30966 and revert the changes from PR
#27246 to eliminate the duplicate
adjustment.
