[Rules] Revised ARIA in HTML rules for img alt=""

See original GitHub issue

for an img alt="" ARIA in HTML was updated to indicate role=none and role=presentation are redundant to the implicit ARIA role. These roles should be marked as invalid, or at least flagged as a warning to authors for their redundancy

If I understand this, it’s asking to flag this because the role is redundant:

<img alt="" role="none" />

Redundancy doesn’t cause failures since it will show up the same in the accessibility hierarchy. It’s not a ‘bug’ to not flag it. Changing this to an ‘enhancement’ to consider how to warn, or if that will cause developers too much noise.
