Optionally report groupings (e.g. aria role group) in browse mode #9485

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Open the following on the Firefox or Chrome address bar:

data:text/html, <p><button>Button in paragraph</button></p><p role="group" aria-label="This is a group"><button>Button in group</button></p>

Neither the aria role of group, nor the group label are provided in browse mode. With focus mode, when you tab through the buttons, NVDA announces when you enter the grouping along with its label.

Note that HTML tag <figure> is also mapped to IA2_ROLE_GROUPING. JAWS reports this role as figure. As Firefox and Chrome map figure to grouping, the same issue as described above applies here.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think that at least figures should be reported in browse mode, preferably as figure instead of grouping. Also, I think that in more cases, it can be beneficial to have groupings reported as such.
