907125 - [AccessFu] Impove output for ARIA tabs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Marco Zehe (:MarcoZ)]

1. Shortened role announcements so it no longer says "page tab list" and "page tab", but "tab list" and "tab" instead. This is mere cosmetic and does not require localization changes in other languages unless those languages deem the role names too verbose as well. The localisation ID therefore was not changed on purpose.
2. Expose selected state.
3. Expose item index in total number of items. Resurrected the once present objItem utterance for this we originally had in list items.

This is going to benefit both Firefox for Android and Firefox OS.

r=me looks great (just one tiny nit).

Nit: line too long; lets keep it at around 80 characters
