Chromevox should announce only the changes to object attributes

Project Member Reported by nek...@chromium.org, Apr 25 2017 
With every object name, Chromevox announces various attributes such as role, state, hierarchical level, table coordinates, etc.
To lessen cognitive load, we should only announce attributes that have changed since the previous or next object, if the user is navigating linearly through the page.

I don't think I agree with this. If you have two links, I would expect us to describe both links in full.

Where we can omit output is taking the diff of the two ranges (before and current). There's no need to describe a node previously described.

A special case I think that could be addressed is that of row/column announcements. When moving by rows, there's no need to announce column info, for example. I'm pretty sure we have a bug for this already.
