Added test for UI navigation when localMultiPlayerRoot is set null.

Added a new test to verify UI navigation and submit actions using a gamepad when the event system's playerRoot (localMultiPlayerRoot) is set and when it is null. Ensures navigation and submit functionality work correctly in both scenarios.
