For treeitem, compute implicit aria-level based on aria-owns chain

So the issue is that this statement implies we need to compute level info for the aria-owns case... "If aria-level is not provided or inherited for an element of role treeitem, user agents implementing IAccessible2 or ATK/AT-SPI MUST compute it by following the explicit or computed RELATION_NODE_CHILD_OF relations"

It is a lot of work for unknown/little gain so shouldn't get priority over other work. I think we could remove the requirement or soften it until there is enough real need.
For now, remove it by commenting it out.
Re-address in Aria 1.1.
Joseph Scheuhammer, 22 Oct 2013, 19:55:41Commented out the paragraph re: UAs MUST compute aria-level on a treeitem based on aria-owns relationships (for MSAA/IA2 and ATK/AT-SPI).
Revisit in ARIA 1.1 timeframe.
See these minutes for discussion about the status, and moving to 1.1 timeframe:
