Description

The ARIA application role provides assistive technologies with a cue that the content is application-based. As a result, many screen readers are able to automatically switch off the virtual cursor when they encounter this role.

We should add application roles to each of the component demos in the demo portal that use arrow key-style navigation.

    The only demo that would likely specifically need the role of application would be the UI Options demo, but should inspect the code to confirm this.

    The keyboard-a11y demo sets the role to application, but nothing else does.
