Comment:

 In [changeset:"44639" 44639]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44639"
 Accessibility: Improve the way Internet Explorer 11 and JAWS announce
 fieldset legends.

 When Internet Explorer encounters a non interactive element with a
 `tabindex`
 attribute, it adds the element to the accessibility tree with a
 `role=group` and
 an accessible name computed from the element. This prevents JAWS from
 announcing
 any fieldset legend within the element.

 - removes `tabindex="0"` from the content and the toolbar containers:
 these tabindex attributes are no longer needed
 - removes `aria-label="Main content"` from the content container: not
 needed
 - keeps the media modal focus fallback introduced in [38142] by making the
 `#wpbody-content` element focusable only when needed

 Props stevefaulkner, aardrian.
 Fixes #43154.
