New description:

 For accessibility, an empty top-level menu item should have
 `role="button"` added to the custom link.

 When setting up a menu with a top-level menu item with a custom link that
 is blank or to an anchor, the output looks like:
 `<a>Top Menu Item</a>` or `<a href="#">Top Menu Item</a>`

 It should have `role=button` added when that is the case:
 `<a role="button">Top Menu Item</a>` or `<a href="#" role="button">Top
 Menu Item</a>`
