Allowed roles

I like the role expansion. I think some of these other roles might also merit being allowed on fieldset:

@scottaohara @smhigley Am not understanding the use cases for making control grouping/labelling semantic elements into non control grouping. |

@stevefaulkner happy to talk about this when i get back to work in the new year. but quickly, the intent here is to stop disallowing the use of roles on elements where it's actually preventing the ability for some developers to rectify poor markup. An alternate proposal i have also been working on is to more clearly indicate what roles MUST NOT be used by developers, vs those which belong more in the SHOULD NOT category (e.g., use the appropriate HTML element instead). |

Yeah no worries let’s discuss when you are back!

could very well belong to the 'should not' category... more on that when we
speak though.

noting that steve and i talked this over. going to move forward with the further clarification proposal i had mentioned in my last comment, so this PR will be adjusted. |
incorporates feedback from steve and sarah. includes language "the following roles are allowed, but are NOT RECOMMENDED" to introduce new allowed roles which _can_ work depending on what's been built, but there are probably better ways to do this. This wording is also used in #446, and allows for us to indicate these changes per element, without having to restructure the entire table (as this can be the end goal, rather than trying to get all allowed roles for all elements updated at once).
