A11y: chrome://accessibility it is difficult for screen reader users to understand where one section begins and ends

Project Member Reported by dsexton@chromium.org, May 2 2018 
Chrome: 68.0.3416.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit) (cohort: Clang-64)
NVDA: 2018.1.1
JAWS: 2018

Steps to repro:
# Open two or three tabs with any content
# With JAWS or NVDA on, visit chrome://accessibility
# Press 'h' several times until screen reader announces 'pages'
# Use down arrow to read through the page title, URL, and options and then again to the next page title

Expected: Screen reader users should be able to differentiate where one page and it's options starts and ends

Actual: If there is a long list of pages, it is easy to get confused as to which action buttons apply to each page

A solution could be to put the page title into an <h3>
It would be quick to jump by page title and easy to understand that all action buttons come after a heading.

Able to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 on reported version 68.0.3416.0.

Verified the fix on Windows, as per comment#0 on latest chrome version #70.0.3507.0.
Observed that screen reader users are be able to differentiate where one page and it's options starts and ends

Hence, the fix is working as expected.
Adding the verified labels.
