[Switch] Add role="switch"

 ## Accessibility
 
-- It will render an element with the `checkbox` role not `switch` role since this
-  role isn't widely supported yet. Please test first if assistive technology of your
-  target audience supports this role properly. Then you can change the role with
-  `<Switch inputProps={{ role: 'switch' }}>`
 - All form controls should have labels, and this includes radio buttons, checkboxes, and switches. In most cases, this is done by using the `<label>` element ([FormControlLabel](/material-ui/api/form-control-label/)).
 - When a label can't be used, it's necessary to add an attribute directly to the input component.
   In this case, you can apply the additional attribute (for example `aria-label`, `aria-labelledby`, `title`) via the `inputProps` prop.
