 This is very similar to #7713. There is no explanation when viewing a
 single theme page in the Theme Directory what the Accessibility Ready tag
 means. Some users may misconstrue this tag as meaning the theme is fully
 WCAG compliant.

 We want to add an alert to the top of the theme search that explains what
 the tag means if a user chooses to filter by it. As more laws around the
 world require websites to conform to WCAG, this distinction is
 increasingly important.

 **Proposed text:**

 Themes labeled as accessibility-ready have been independently reviewed
 against a set of WordPress-specific [theme accessibility
 requirements]https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/accessibility/required/.
 They have not been tested for [Web Content Accessibility
 Guidelines]https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/ conformance.
 There should be a reference to relevant WCAG criteria under each section.

 **Location**
 This notice will be visible in the right column between the wporg-meta-
 list block and reviews block. It will only appear on themes that have
 added the Accessibility Ready tag and will not appear on themes without
 that tag.

 **Design**
 @slferguson has a proposed design to upload.
