Andrea Fercia 711796d172 Accessibility: Make Safari 10 + VoiceOver announce repeated, identical, `wp.a11y.speak()` messages.
Safari 10 + VoiceOver don't announce repeated, identical, strings sent to an 
`aria-live` region. Appending a `no-break space` to a repeated message string,
forces them to think the strings are different.

Fixes #36853.

Andrea Fercia 0a12bb2341 Accessibility: Ensure only text is sent to aria-live messages.
While messages passed to `wp.speak.a11y()` should preferably be meaningful,
short, and carefully crafted case by case, this will ensure any HTML tags will
be stripped out from the message string.

Props adamsilverstein.

Andrea Fercia 6b7f68855b 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.
