AX: Consider whether AXIsSuggestedDeletion/Insertion should not use "Suggested" (Google API comment)

Aaron Leventhal (accessibility implementer for Google/Chromium) suggested the API AXIsSuggestedDeletion/Insertion is misleading, as the insertions/deletions sometimes refer to version changes that have already been accepted, and other non-suggestion diffs.

Apple internal discussion consensus was:
 - yes, we should change it
 - its low priority though, so probably not this release
 - keep the legacy API key working in perpetuity, so we don't break implementations that adopt the "Suggested" version in the meantime.

To whichever WebKit engineer implements this change, please file (or ask me to file) a new issue against Core-AAM to update the mapping: https://github.com/w3c/core-aam/issues/new/choose Thanks.
