Implements the `a11y-no-aria-label-misuse` rule from erblint-github's `NoAriaLabelMisuse`. This rule flags misuse of `aria-label` and `aria-labelledby` attributes on elements where they are not reliably supported: - Always flags on name-restricted elements: h1-h6, strong, i, p, b, code - Flags on generic elements (div, span) without a role attribute - Flags on generic elements with a prohibited role (none, presentation, paragraph, etc. per W3C namefromprohibited) - Allows usage on interactive elements (button, a, input, etc.) - Allows usage on generic elements with a permitted role (dialog, alert, etc.) Closes marcoroth#1223
