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.
