Comment:

 In [changeset:"57708" 57708]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="57708"
 Toolbar: Accessibility: Keyboard navigation for screen readers.

 Change the admin toolbar to have `role="menu"` and support opening for
 screen readers. Remove screen reader only log out link and collapse
 duplicate profile links into one link. This is an imperfect solution to a
 complex problem in the adminbar, but the lack of screen reader access to
 submenus is a major accessibility problem, and this fix provides access,
 even if the mechanism is imperfect.

 Screen reader log out added in [21452].

 Fixes #34668, #43633.
