Expansion panel accessibility is broken right now. There are ways to fix it, but first we need to decide what the component is actually responsible for in terms of design, accessibility, and functionality.

An update on this:
The <forge-expansion-panel>
 component was recently updated to remove its internal accessibility handling. This is due to cross-root ARIA issues that exist with Web Components + shadow DOM in the current state of the web. In an effort to ease the usage for developers, we created the <forge-button-area>
 component that allows for easily hooking up the proper accessibility. Docs on that component live here.
You can view changes to the a11y attributes on the <forge-expansion-panel>
 component in this PR:
