a11y: live region changes one second apart are not interrupting the original message

Project Member Reported by leberly@chromium.org, Jul 31

Issue description

Google Chrome	69.0.3497.14 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)
Firmware Version	Google_Lulu.6301.136.57

Steps to reproduce: 
# Turn on ChromeVox with ctrl + alt + z 
# Navigate to  https://minorninth.github.io/aria-live-region-tests/live_region_tests.html
# Navigate to <button>two live region changes, one second apart</button>
Expected: second alert will interrupt first alert
Actual: second one does not interrupt, they are read one after the other
 
Sometimes it exhibits the bug behavior described in 869576 instead.

I'll have to circle back with Dominic on this one. Live regions that fire rapidly can be abused and cause a really poor user experience. ChromeVox explicitly queues up live regions that come in quick succession; the current number is 5 seconds.
