Add an option to choose if hiden columns in list will be reported

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In alpha versions, NVDA doesn't report hiden columns in lists (issue #9873). Now, when we navigate by columns with control+alt+right and left arrows, NVDA is still reporting the column number according to the original column order, and so the number of steps in table navigation can be inconsistent respect to the column number reported, if the list contains hiden columns.

Describe the solution you'd like

A settings in Presentation object category to choose if hiden columns will be reported by NVDA, similar to screen layout option used for browse mode.

Describe alternatives you've considered

This could be treated as a regression, but @leonardder and me have discussed this and we think it's not appropriate, as shown in messages posted on the development mailing list:

Additional context

Sometimes, we may want to use the _getColumnNumber function. This method may not to be marked as private.
