Update accessibility statement with new issues

We had an audit in February of this year but did
not update the accessibility statement to reflect
the issues identified as fixed or to include new
issues it produced.

Some of the dates for fixed have also not been
updated for a long time.

This adds those changes, with placeholders for
dates assigned to each issue.

This content is now ready for review. The dates
will be assigned when that is complete.
