docs: fix (non-systemic) accessibility issues flagged by aXe (#1531)
This PR fixes some accessibility issues in our theme docs (i.e. not generated code) flagged by #1513. Here, I target changes that I say are not "systemic", i.e. issues that are easily resolvable by changing our copy and page structure (rather than issues that are created by how kramdown/rouge generates HTML, or reworking our color themes).

Here's a quick summary of the manual changes I made:

- ~~writing some JS to set `tabindex="0"` on all code blocks; I'd prefer a ruby-native solution, but that involves writing Ruby code, which is incompatible with the pages gem~~ I've moved this to #1533
- rewriting many headings named "Example" which were almost always h4s into more descriptive headings + the appropriate heading level, adding .text-delta to maintain the previous style when necessary
- removing some old heading ID hacks in `index-test` that are no longer necessary, since Jekyll does this automatically now
- fixing the table headings in `docs/utilities/layout.md`
- adding accessible titles + descriptions to the mermaid examples
- occasionally, slightly moving around copy to make it align with new headings

If you test with #1513 with the following rules disabled:

```rb
skipped_rules = [
  'color-contrast', # requires theme auditing
  # issues w/ autogenerated footnotes
  'aria-allowed-role',
  'landmark-no-duplicate-contentinfo',
  'landmark-unique',
  'aria-deprecated-role',
  # issues w/ markdown checkboxes
  'label'
]
```

You should get passing tests :) which is awesome!

## next steps

1. we need to do a pass over our docs copy - very inconsistent. This has been a pain point for me for a while now, just need to find time to sit down and do it. In particular, I'd love to standardize how we display example code (perhaps even hiding it with `<details>` and `<summary>`?), our headings language, what goes into the ToC, our overall writing style, etc.
2. ~~I don't love the JS hack for adding `tabindex="0"` to code blocks (so that they are keyboard-focusable). Ideally, we'd add a custom formatter to rouge to do this, but we can't execute arbitrary Ruby code when users use `github-pages`. I'll look into this some more - maybe rouge would be open to adding this as a feature.~~ see: #1533
4. There are some systemic issues that need a deeper look:
    1. The most common issue is still color-contrast. Fixing this involves:
        - looking at our whites/blacks/grays for core text and highlighting
        - reevaluating our syntax highlighting themes
        - fixing dark mode, once and for all :) 
        - also, picking accessible callout colours!
     2. kramdown's autogenerated footnotes feature creates a bunch of errors that aXe flags: it seems like a deprecated aria role is being used, and perhaps some misuse of markup. Need to look into this more before I can make a solid attempt at resolving this issue.
     3. We demonstrate the use of `- [ ]`, but this generates `<input type="checkbox">` values with no label. I'm not entirely sure what the best way to fix this problem is (without writing custom Ruby code). I'll have to think about this some more.

In-Page Navigation

{: .no_toc }

Table of Contents

{: .no_toc .text-delta }

  1. TOC {:toc}

To support in-page navigation, you can generate a Table of Contents (TOC) with links to headings, like the one shown above, as well as a link to the top of the page.

Generating Table of Contents

To generate a Table of Contents in a page, you use Kramdown's {:toc} method, immediately after the start of a list. This will automatically generate a list of anchor links to various sections of the page, based on headings and heading levels.

Omitting Heading from Table of Contents

If you want to omit a particular heading from the TOC, follow it immediately by {: .no_toc } (possibly together with other CSS class names).

# In-Page Navigation
{: .no_toc }

## Table of Contents
{: .no_toc .text-delta }

1. TOC
{:toc}

This example omits the top-level heading (In-Page Navigation) from the TOC, as well as the heading for the Table of Contents itself.

To get an unordered list, replace 1. TOC by - TOC in the above example.

Collapsible Table of Contents (with <details> and <summary>)

You can make the Table of Contents collapsible using the <details> and <summary> elements, as in the following example.

<details open markdown="block">
  <summary>
    Table of contents
  </summary>
  {: .text-delta }
1. TOC
{:toc}
</details>

The attribute open (which expands the Table of Contents by default) and the styling (here with text-delta) are optional.

{: .note } {:toc} can be used only once on each page.

Back to Top

{: .warning } The default id for a section with heading "Back to Top" is "back-to-top". To avoid invalid HTML, sites that set the back_to_top configuration variable should override the default id for such sections. The Markdown source file for the current page uses ## Back to Top {#back-to-top-doc}.

You can add a link from the bottom of each page to its top. You do this by including the back_to_top configuration option in your site's _config.yml file, together with back_to_top_text for the anchor link.

Example

{: .no_toc }

back_to_top: true
back_to_top_text: "Back to top"

{: .warning } Back-to-top links currently appear only when other configuration options require footer generation!
