elementRoles: related concepts vs. implicit semantics

Currently a <select /> element will be mapped to the listbox and combobox role. This does not match the table of *default implicit ARIA semantics: https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/#el-select. It should map to either one depending on size/multiple.

It seems like the map is generated from related concepts but I think those aren't necessarily equivalent. Or the html spec is incomplete.

If I'm reading this issue correctly, it seems like there is a similar problem with <input type="file">, which is treated as a textbox, while the spec seems to state that there is no corresponding aria role.

@eps1lon #32 should address the issue of <select /> mapping indiscriminately to listbox and combobox.

I'll check it out tomorrow and see if that helped. Seems like I have to check other PRs as well and update the TS types anyway.

@eps1lon I'm going to run though all of https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/#el-input-file right now and make the code match the spec.
