A11Y: Add heading role for post titles. (#13143)

Not all screen readers treat articles as navigable roles when moving between landmarks. To help with this, we use a `heading` role on the title, with an arbitrary depth of 2 chosen as to not conflict with the main `<h1/>`. Because ARIA roles are used, this change should be entirely non-visual.

While this introduces minor navigation challenges in posts where headers are included, the vast majority of posts don't, and as screen reader users, we're used to mixed headers in longer-form content.
