A11y: drop draft ARIA, overhaul in-page links

- Stop using draft WAI-ARIA 1.3 that isn't supported yet
- Make in-page links focusable across shortcodes/partials
- Replace existing in-page heading anchor links with a more accessible
  option.
- Make backlinks aria-labelledby instead of giving them an aria-label,
  so they can be translated.
