[Accessibility] Deprecation of role for edit bar

[Pete Brunet]

Thanks Will, I meant to say deprecated, not removed.  For significant 
changes like this I'd first deprecate for at least one release and then 
remove it later.

Orca currently uses ROLE_EDITBAR in the gcalctool script.  So, I think 
you'd need to consider marking this as deprecated rather than just 
eliminating it.
