Implements a rough version of no-redundant-roles lint rule from #820.
I went through all HTML tags listed on https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/#docconformance and made sure to be able to lint easy cases for redundant roles like e.g. on a
<button>
element.I skipped the difficult implementation parts for now, e.g. for the
<header>
element, which would need to be aware of its parent node or if that parent node has a potentially assigned role.The HTML tags that would require a more complex implementation logic are commented out for now in the
implicitAriaSemantics
Map.It is up to the core team to decide if this lint rule should become more complex and therefore time-consuming for maintaining it with potential bugs or not.
