 On a developer handbook page, there are multiple complementary landmarks
 injected by widgets.

 Example page: https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/

 Problem code:
 {{{
 <div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
                 <div id="secondary-content">
                                 <aside id="search-7" class="widget
 widget_search">
                                 </aside>
                                 <aside id="handbook_pages-3" class="widget
 widget_wporg_handbook_pages">
                                 </aside>
                 </div>
 </div>
 }}}

 Solution: Since there is already a wrapping ARIA role, remove the aside
 tags and replace them with divs or another HTML element. Aside tag is
 HTML5 and produces a complementary landmark when used.
