 In [changeset:"44905" 44905]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44905"
 Accessibility: Improve the semantics of "tabs" that are not real ARIA
 tabs.

 Some "visual tabs" in the WordPress admin used links wrapped in a `h2`
 heading. While these tabs look like ARIA tabs, they're just navigation
 menus and should be marked-up as such to be correctly exposed to assistive
 technologies.
 - changes the wrapping `<h2>` to a `<nav>` element: worth reminding
 `<nav>` elements also define ARIA landmarks
 - adds an `aria-label` to the `<nav>` elements so they can be
 distinguished from other `<nav>` elements in the page
 - adjusts the headings level in the Credits page

 Props audrasjb, afercia.
 Fixes #43398.
