Add missing/invalid value defaults to attribute characteristics tables #2281

Describe the change

During the June 27 2024 "undefined" deep dive discussion, @cookiecrook proposed (ostensibly with WG agreement) expanding every ARIA attribute's characteristics table to include a value for both missing value default and invalid value default. Some states/properties specify an "Implicit Value for Role" which is the missing value default; note that the missing/invalid value defaults don't reflect to IDL as specified for implicit value in the characteristics tables (see 6.3.2 IDL reflection of ARIA attributes).

Per @jnurthen, the table in section 9. Handling Author errors should not be removed because validators rely on it to surface author errors.
