add tags_include/tags_exact to be able to find elements of arbitrary classes such as XCUIElementTypeTextView

[ncarroll-mdsol]

iOS offers a UITextView element that can be used to display multiline text with special formatting. From their docs:

You typically use a text view to display multiple lines of text, such as when displaying the body of a large text document.

This element comes across in the source with the class XCUIElementTypeTextView.
I think it's a reasonable expectation that the text() method would match these elements. However, currently only elements with class XCUIElementTypeStaticText are matched: https://github.com/appium/ruby_lib/blob/master/lib/appium_lib/ios/element/text.rb#L5

Thoughts? I looked around the code and it doesn't seem too difficult. I may give it a shot! I think to do it properly, some of the generic methods / helpers should be modified to take an array of class names, rather than a single class.

Yes, currently text() only support XCUIElementTypeStaticText class since this methods had been only implemented against UIAStaticText before.

Do generic methods means like the following code?
(This example is only for XCUITest.)

# @param [String] value
# @param [Array[String]] *args
def tags_include(value, *args)
    visible_elements = args.flat_map(&:tags)
    elements_include visible_elements, value
end

# @param [String] value
# @param [Array[String]] *args
def tags_exact(value, *args)
    visible_elements = args.flat_map(&:tags)
    elements_exact visible_elements, value
end

tags() comes from https://github.com/appium/ruby_lib/blob/master/lib/appium_lib/ios/helper.rb#L332 .

I'll implement like the above helper as v9.3.3

I added tags_include/tags_exact and change this issue's description

Awesome, looks fantastic! Thank you :)
