Companion to whatwg/html#11723.

Closes #2602

Adds an att-focusgroup entry to html-aam documenting the mapping for the focusgroup content attribute being specified in whatwg/html#11723. The attribute itself has no direct accessibility API mapping, so all six platform rows are Not mapped. The Comments cell explains the details.

Test, Documentation and Implementation tracking

Once this PR has been reviewed and has consensus from the working group, tests should be written and issues should be opened on browsers. Add N/A and check when not applicable.

Adds an entry for the focusgroup content attribute documenting that it
has no direct accessibility API mapping, but that user agents infer
ARIA composite-widget roles for the focus group owner (and, for button
items, the corresponding item roles) when a behavior token is used and
the element would otherwise have a generic role with no explicit role
or non-generic native semantics.

Companion to whatwg/html#11723.
