Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Add an accessibility self-review to TAG design reviews. (PR #1088)

Quick update on work being done in TAG and APA here...

* TAG has a [shortlist questionnaire](https://github.com/w3ctag/accessibility-questionnaire) (like i18n does) for accessibility review, and seeing if further review would be needed - but I and @jyasskin feel that this needs to be more user (spec author) friendly, so @ananya-ky on my team is making an HTML version of this to make it super easy to both fill in, and to get a GitHub issue *in the spec's repo* (important because the answers need to be owned, and visible - and it's easy to add the `a11y-tracker` label to issues in the spec's repo) out of the answers. We can share prototype with TAG now, and publicly in a week or so.

   The HTML idea (thanks @jyasskin) is heavily inspired by [i18n's short review checklist](https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/techniques/shortchecklist) but instead of having the spec author copy in and then complete the GitHub issue, the text of the GitHub issue comes directly from how the user filled in the form - so it will be even simpler to use.

* APA also has the longer [FAST Checklist](https://w3c.github.io/fast/checklist.html) that is needed if more in-depth review is warranted, or at horizontal review time. We're aware it has shortcomings, and have had great feedback on it from @nigelmegitt and others. We're revamping it based on this feedback, and again @ananya-ky is working on it.

I also agree with both @nigelmegitt and @martinthomson that the process needs to be simple for requesters of reviews, and that hopefully these things in concert will achieve that.

My proposal would be that when we have the 'friendly' versions of the two questionnaires at MVP level we could point to them, from TAG's perspective, via this PR. I'm away for a week after today but I expect our proposed forms to be ready within a week or so.
