In an effort to get new ACT Rules onto the WCAG site (because it’s likely quicker this way), I’ve duplicated the `tests` directive to create a new `actrules` one. We’re running out of heading levels, so I’ve used a description list to mark up the content. I’ve also left the “this section is non-normative” content in there.
-  Re-title to No Repetitive Interactive Elements to cover non-link interactive elements
- Add an exception
- Add first draft ACT rules

We will need to move the ACT rules section out of the WCAG3 page and into the informative materials. See #673 for an example.
