Add a new linter rule that ensures `<svg>` elements have accessible text. The rule reports an offense when an `<svg>` is missing all of the following: - `aria-label` attribute - `aria-labelledby` attribute - A nested `<title>` child element SVGs marked as decorative with `aria-hidden="true"` are exempt. Based on the erblint-github `GitHub::Accessibility::SvgHasAccessibleText` rule. Closes marcoroth#1226

This pull request updates the AST utils related to elements and attributes in core to also account for the `HTMLConditionalOpenTagNode` node type, so linter rules like #1669 can more easily build the logic for the linter rules.
