[techs] Tests 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 - Misuse of headings for formatting

I propose that we accept these tests [1]. Although the term "valid heading" is only understandable by reading the test files, I don't think we should add this clarification to the test - it should be in the HTML Techniques.

These 6 tests are associated with Guideline 1.3 but not with any Success Criteria. I propose we associate them with Level 1 #1: Structures and relationships within the content can be programmatically determined.  

These tests are currently mapped to HTML Technique 3.2 Header misuse <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-HTML-TECHS-20050211/#hx-misuse>
and should also map to 3.1 Section headings <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-HTML-TECHS-20050211/#hx>
