Consider adding menubar and toolbar to fieldset #400

Semantically being groupings of related controls, it makes sense that a fieldset would allow for these roles that have a similar purpose.

Additionally, at least with some quick testing, a legend within a fieldset with one of these roles would allow a naming mechanism without use of aria-label or aria-labelledby. Would want to test this more, but would expect similar results to #350

test cases and notes on behaviors - https://codepen.io/scottohara/pen/ExpaeEj

outside of some minor oddities with Safari/VO (bug filed for iOS), it seems to me that fieldset should allow the following roles:

toolbar
menubar
menu
listbox
tablist
article
dialog
region (this is the role that has the most odd behaviors with it, but none of which are going to cause blocking issues, and further modifications could mitigate them entirely - e.g., not using legend to attempt to name the element).
