#27644: Audio/Video playlists not keyboard accessible.

---------------------------+-----------------------------
 The media elements default implementation already has keyboard
 accessibility issues, because there's no way to bring the controls into
 focus for keyboards. The playlist can be made accessible simply by
 changing the wp-playlist-item-title wrapper from a <span> to an <a
 href="#"> or a <button>, so they automatically carry keyboard
 accessibility.

 This still doesn't allow a keyboard-dependent user any way to stop or
 pause the video, but they can at least play videos in the playlist.

 Note, as well, that since the Add Media Panel is not accessible (see
 #25100, #25101, #25102, #25103, #25105), it will continue to be impossible
 for a keyboard-dependent user to insert videos or subtitles.
