select(multiple): aria-checked and aria-selected broken

[npbenjohnson]

Actual Behavior:

• What is the issue? *
md-select multiple values are always "checked" because of ngAria, and selected states don't clearly denote the control's intended usage.

• What is the expected behavior?
  Only checked values should be checked. There is a workaround, adding aria-checked to md-option with a correct binding will prevent the ng-aria behavior. Ideally md-select would fix the ngAria behavior internally.

The distinction between selected and checked needs to be more clearly defined and expressed. According to specs, selection should be managed with aria-activedescendant unless the multiple select actually supports selecting (not checking) multiple values. aria-selected would be appropriate for a control where holding ctrl highlights (selects) multiple values, and hitting space checks them.

The issue is ambiguous because best practices for multiselects follow a pattern that is completely incompatible with md-select (md-select is actually more of a persistent-selectable tree-view than a multiselect based on examples I've seen). Expected behavior is a best-guess based on how I interpret selected and checked when both are present while using a screen reader.

Example of the confusion in actual vs expected read values by NVDA for an unchecked item:
Actual:
Foo item 1 of 3 checked not-selected
Expected:
Foo item 1 of 3 not checked

Upon further testing and review, it does not appear that aria-checked has any role to play at all in select components. It appears that the aria-selected and selected attributes are what screen readers look for with listbox implementations.

When the select has the multiple attribute, multiple options are allowed to have the aria-selected and selected attributes.

I've pushed a big update to PR #11761 that gets rid of aria-checked and resolves a lot of other related issues. More testing, review, and feedback is needed. There are also some known issues listed in the PR under TODO.
