Checkbox: aria-checked attribute not set.

[brunano21]

The checkbox widget doesn't set the arribute aria-checked when ticking the box.

Tested on its sample page - Buttons.html.

Looks like <d-checkbox> embeds an <input type=checkbox>, and the focus goes to that node. aria-checked isn't necessary on <input type=checkbox> nodes. It's only a "workaround" for when you have <div> etc. mimicking an <input type=checkbox>. For deliteful, the focus goes to the <input type=checkbox> and therefore aria-checked should be unnecessary.

BTW, I noticed that deliteful is setting aria-disabled and role=checkbox. Both of those are unnecessary too.

According to this (if realiable), when using the role=checkbox, aria-checked is needed.

However, doing some tests with JAWS17, removing role=checkbox from the <input> leaves the widget working fine, as it should. It reacts well when checking/unchecking.

So I would suggest to remove role=checkbox, since it has an implicit role.
