 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="59188"
 Editor: A11y: Fix tab order, state, and focus in classic editor.

 Remove code that forced focus to skip from the title field to the editor.
 Add link to skip to editor to give the user control over their path. Set
 `aria-pressed` on editor selector buttons to communicate which editor is
 enabled. Make focus state visible on unselected editor button. Remove
 `wp_keep_scroll_position` flag used for IE compatibility. Add
 `role="presentation"` to table used as status info bar.

 This addresses a long-standing accessibility problem in the classic editor
 which created a confusing keyboard navigation path by skipping all content
 between the title field and the content editor.

 Props afercia, rcreators, benjamin_zekavica, sharonaustin, joedolson.
 Fixes #29838.
