Subject: [PATCH] Accessibility: Remove the ARIA roles from the
 `wp.a11y.speak()` live regions.

When Firefox repaints some elements, NVDA may announce "alert" even when there's
no actual message dispatched to the live region. The NVDA implementation differs
from other screen readers and is currently under discussion. To avoid a subpar
user experience better to remove the roles since they're basically redundant.

Fixes #36289.
