Details

This PR adds a check that overwrites some results returned by the getAccessibleText method from axe-core.

Motivation

Upon manually testing some native elements, it was observed that we returned content-derived accessible names for some elements that can only derive their accessible names from author-provided attributes such as aria-label, aria-labelledby, title, among others even when such elements do not have attributes.

#### Details

<!-- Usually a sentence or two describing what the PR changes -->
This PR removes the feature flag under which development of the accessible names feature took place. Although the main goal of this PR is to remove the feature flag, it also contains very small changes related to the "display-accessible-names" rule; with respect to that, this PR adds another native element attribute (summary, to be specific,) check for elements that get their names from author-provided attributes. The PR also includes the addition of the "section" element to the selectors we query.
##### Motivation

<!-- This can be as simple as "addresses issue #123" -->

##### Context
The "summary" attribute check was added to this PR because some elements like table can get their accessible name from the summary attribute. For more information, please refer to PR #5960 
<!-- Are there any parts that you've intentionally left out-of-scope for a later PR to handle? -->

<!-- Were there any alternative approaches you considered? What tradeoffs did you consider? -->
