BUGFIX: template-require-mandatory-role-attributes — lowercase role + split whitespace role lists

+## Semantic-role exemptions
+
+When the role attribute explicitly declares a role that the native element already provides, the native element supplies the required ARIA state and the rule does not flag missing attributes. The exemption is looked up via [axobject-query](https://github.com/A11yance/axobject-query)'s `elementAXObjects` + `AXObjectRoles` maps, matching the approach used by `eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y` and `@angular-eslint/template`.
+
+Exempt pairings include (non-exhaustive):
+
+| Element                   | Role                 | Required ARIA state supplied by                                                                           |
+| ------------------------- | -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `<input type="checkbox">` | `checkbox`, `switch` | native `checked` state                                                                                    |
+| `<input type="radio">`    | `radio`              | native `checked` state                                                                                    |
+| `<input type="range">`    | `slider`             | native `value` / `min` / `max`                                                                            |
+| `<input type="number">`   | `spinbutton`         | native `value` / `min` / `max` (spinbutton's required `aria-valuenow` is derived from the native `value`) |
+| `<input type="text">`     | `textbox`            | no required ARIA                                                                                          |
+| `<input type="search">`   | `searchbox`          | no required ARIA                                                                                          |
+
+Undocumented pairings (e.g. `<input type="checkbox" role="menuitemcheckbox">` — axobject-query does not list this) remain flagged.
