fix(material/chips): remove button role from editable chips

Removes the button role from editable input chips. Fix accessibility
issue in ChipRow where the chip action element is mislabeled as a
button (#27106). Remove butotn role by remove DOM node thtat used to
have button role and using the gridcell role element for the primary
chip action instead.

Tested cross-browser with supported screen readers on MacOS and Windows.
Tested on "Chips with input" example by verifying that a chip could be
added then edited after adding. Also verifying that AT read the chip's
aria description.
