Follows on from w3c/html-aam#346 (w3c/html-aam#348).

There have been prior changes in html-aam to update the mapping of the <section> element with no accessible name to role=generic.

Filing this for consideration to make the equivalent changes to the html-aria spec for the role mapping definition of the <section> element for consistency - moving from "no corresponding role" to "generic" in the no accessible name scenario.

Update unnamed section mapping
f948181 
closes #474

changes ref of section element without name from 'no corresponding role' to `role=generic`.

other changes made in this PR:
- remove duplicate instances of code elements from ARIA roles (mostly instances of role=generic).
- clarification for section element allowed roles - role=region not recommended in general, not just if the element is named since using the role w/out naming would be useless.  mention authors SHOULD NOT use role=generic on the element, per the change from no corresponding role.
