Related to [HTML AAM issue 416](w3c/html-aam#416) Previously the WG thought it reasonable to revise HTML's `<s>` element to map to the `deletion` role, allowing the opportunity to better expose content that is no longer relevant. This PR is contingent on the merging of the HTML AAM PR to resolve the above linked issue (HTML AAM PR will be linked to via reference to this issue, once submitted).

Introducing this mapping would allow for browsers to expose this role, and thus AT to better communicate that the content is marked as no longer relevant. Presently authors need to employ visually hidden content to programmatically convey what the element visually represents with its default UA CSS strike-through.
