I was recently reviewing the new Claro theme for accessibility and stumbled onto a missed WCAG level A requirement: the generated div with id "drupal-live-announce" is not contained in a proper landmark.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new Drupal site (8.8 or greater).
2. Set Claro as the default administration theme and disable all other themes.
3. Scan admin pages that include live announce functionality (eg. admin/reports) with a WCAG compliance tool, such as AInspector WCAG for Firefox

Expected Result: 0 errors
Actual Result: 1 or more errors, including an error raising the fact that a rendered <div> tag is not contained in a landmark.

Severity: Normal. This is required for full WCAG level A compliance.

Proposed resolution:

The same javascript that currently creates the div can also create a parent landmark with an appropriate role and label.

    New branch and merge request created to append aria-live region to <main> landmark region. If <main> does not exist (which it should) then aria-live region gets appended to <body> as per original behavior.
