AX: Update list heuristics to include linked lists inside navigation containers

There were a few Twitter threads recently about the WebKit behavior to distinguish unstyled layout lists from unstyled semantic lists. Generally, I still believe WebKit is correct to heuristically suppress list-itis from screen reader users, but we can make it better for authors by continuing to update these heuristics.

https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/master/Source/WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilityList.cpp

The first actionable suggestion that came out of the discussion was to account for link lists that are descendants (not limited to direct children) of nav elements or role=navigation. Even single-item links seem fine to me.

Other suggestions were about styling (bg colors, etc.) like WebKit has for the data tables, but I didn't see anything actionable in that category yet. If I do, I'll file it as a separate bug tracker and try to link it here.
