AX: Add ARIA role "image" as a new role, and leave "img" as a synonym

It hasn't yet been merged into the editor's draft, but it will be here.
https://w3c.github.io/aria/#image

The 'img' role will remain, but be deprecated eventually after browser support moves sufficiently to support role="image"
https://w3c.github.io/aria/#img

I don't think WebKit should ever remove "img" as a role synonym, but the returned role string (reverse lookup of the enum) should use the new one: "image"
