[Testing] [Windows] The ListView cannot be accessed via automation on Windows when the GroupShortNameBinding property is used.

[HarishKumarSF4517]

Description

When using the ListView in a Xamarin.Forms or MAUI application on Windows, the automation framework fails to detect the ListView control when the GroupShortNameBinding property is set. This issue appears when grouping is enabled in the ListView, and the GroupShortNameBinding is used to bind the short name of each group

Steps to Reproduce

Run the application using the given Sample Link attached below for Issue1975.

Sample Link: Issue1975.cs
Test Link: Issue1975.cs

Expected Behavior:

The ListView should remain fully accessible to automation tools, regardless of the use of the GroupShortNameBinding property.

However, when the GroupShortNameBinding property is set, it makes the ListView inaccessible to automation frameworks on Windows.
