react-day-picker is misusing the application role

[trezy]

According to the W3C:

...the role of application should only be used with caution because it gives a signal to screen reading software to turn off normal web navigation controls. Simple widgets should generally not be given the application role, nor should an entire web page be given the application role, unless it is not to be used at all like a web page, and not without much user testing with assistive technology.)

However, react-day-picker has the application role.

@trezy thanks for pointing this out - which role should be used instead?

@gpbl, props for the a11y label and the awesome amount of ARIA implementation in this plugin! For this library, I think you're best just sticking with the grid role which is already set up. It's already a subclass of the widget role, which indicates specifically that it isn't an application. Just removing the application role would be sufficient to bring it back in line with ARIA.

@gpbl Thanks for doing that work! It's always awesome to see an OSS project doing so well. 😁
