Description
### Describe the bug
Under GTK, If a readonly text input loses focus as a result of keyboard input (i.e., pressing tab), a beep is emitted.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run Tutorial 1
2. Type Tab twice
A beep will be emitted when the Celsius field loses focus.
### Expected behavior
No beep should be emitted.
### Screenshots
_No response_
### Environment
- Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04
- Python version: All
- Software versions:
- Toga: 0.4.2+
### Logs
```
```
### Additional context
No beep is emitted on *loss* of focus.
It's arguable whether the readonly widget should be able to accept focus at all - that's the behavior on macOS. If this is acceptable, calling `native.set_can_focus()` as part of `set_readonly()` might be a fix for this.
There is likely similar issues on any other widget with a clear input focus and a readonly option.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue by running Tutorial 1 on Ubuntu 22.04 and pressing Tab twice, then inspect the readonly text input's native focus handling. Consider the mentioned set_can_focus() path and check whether other readonly widgets show the same behavior. Done means keyboard focus changes no longer emit a beep.
