 In [changeset:"45403" 45403]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="45403"
 Accessibility: Make sure layout tables across the admin are correctly
 linearized.

 Adds `role="presentation"` to the `<table>` elements used for layout
 purposes.

 Ideally, HTML tables should be used for tabular data. When tables are used
 for layout purposes, it's important to remove any native semantics so that
 assistive technologies can correctly announce the table content in a
 linearized fashion.

 Props greatislander, afercia.
 Fixes #46899.
