[accessibility] Convey context menu items as buttons #136

Description

@Malvoz

Assistive technology such as screenreaders convey the context menu items (<a>) as a "link". I believe in more cases than not the context menu items behave more like buttons than links. Therefore I suggest using role=button for the context menu items.

Notes:

The W3C Maps for HTML Community Group implemented this for a custom element here.

This would also align with Leaflet controls:

(alternatively, use <button> instead.)
