bug#32348: 27.0.50; EWW/SHR: Please add support for hiding DOM nodes with aria-hidden=true

["T.V Raman" <raman@google.com>]

Nice, this is good enough for me. Another place to leverage
aria-hidden  might be in EWW's "readable" command. Note that in
general those nodes are shown on screen but are useless for the most
part -- and usually inoperable under EWW. As an example, articles from
the BBC for instance use these nodes to add buttons for "share via
messenger" etc.
