Message:

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.
Merges [45403] to the 5.2 branch.
