Add exception for ARIA role="text"

See original GitHub issue

Invalid ARIA role="text" can be used to stop ‘text splitting’ in VoiceOver iOS https://axesslab.com/text-splitting/ This improves the user experience and does not negatively affect accessibility.

Please add an exception, so that the presence of ARIA role="text" does not cause the following failure: ‘[role] values are not valid - ARIA roles must have valid values in order to perform their intended accessibility functions.’

Alright, just a heads up for everyone. We have this planned for the 4.1.0 release. I’m going to start working on this so should be able to have it into develop within the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your patience.
