Message:

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.
