Bumps govuk-frontend from 5.13.0 to 5.14.0.

Release notes

Sourced from govuk-frontend's releases.

GOV.UK Frontend v5.14.0

New features

The GOV.UK footer component now allows the removal of content licence information

If your service does not provide information under the Open Government Licence (OGL), you can now remove the content licence information from the GOV.UK footer.

If you use Nunjucks, set the contentLicence parameter to null:

{{ govukFooter({
  contentLicence: null
}) }}

We introduced this feature in the following pull requests:

Recommended changes

Add aria-hidden="true" to the Service navigation's menu toggle

The VoiceOver screen reader software for macOS and iPadOS contains bugs that make the menu toggle in the Service navigation accessible to VoiceOver users, even if the button has a hidden attribute.

If you use Nunjucks, you do not have to do anything.

If you do not use Nunjucks to generate your components' HTML, add an aria-hidden="true" attribute to the hidden <button> element of the Service navigation. This means the button will remain hidden for VoiceOver users.

We made this change in [pull request #6469: Fix VoiceOver access to hidden Service Navigation menu button](alphagov/govuk-frontend#6469).
