Fixes #9685
Proposed Changes
This PR adds basic support for adding ARIA roles and labels to blocks. It backports the existing behavior from the screenreader branch, with heavy refactoring to improve readability and maintainability.
Future Work
Labeling will be substantially improved by field subclasses customizing their labeling. Those changes will be automatically incorporated; this PR uses the newly-introduced APIs to get appropriate field labels.
Additionally, label generation should be tweaked once Inputs have support for overriding labeling to use those APIs.
When support for detailed readout keyboard shortcuts and "where am I" shortcuts are added, methods to compute labels for the full tree leading up to a block (specified in the design doc) should be added.
