editorial: update html-aam note (#2503)
Closes [AccName 250](w3c/accname#250) I am making this change in an effort to make it more obvious that readers should be checking HTML-AAM in specific instances. Due to the recent issues filed against SVG-AAM wherein it's made clear that SVG-AAM should be referring to AccName instead, I've removed the note's reference to SVG-AAM.
