SearchBar does not unfocus and hide keyboard on iOS

[3steve3]

Description

I'm trying to create a search bar with some results in a list view that appear. When a user taps a result in the list view or presses search in the keyboard I try to unfocus the search bar to hide the keyboard, but the keyboard does not disappear even though the event fires and calls unfocus for the search bar.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new content page
2. Add a searchbar and a list view
3. Add event handler that unfocuses searchbar when a listview item is tapped
4. Keyboard will not disappear

The problem here is that the SearchBar element's "IsFocused" property doesn't toggle to True when it's focused. The UnFocus() call inside VisualElement checks the value of IsFocused before trying to trigger a focus call to the platform

One workaround is to manually set IsFocused yourself.

(searchBar as IView).IsFocused = true
searchBar.UnFocus()

I wonder if inside our VisualElement code we should be checking the platform as the ultimate truth if an element is focused. I realize that masks the IsFocused property being semi broken and not firing FocusChanged but it at least makes IsFocused always correct.

This is basically a duplicate of #6482
