SettingsExpander's internal SettingsCard using its Button content's as AutomationProperties.Name

[guimafelipe]

Describe the bug

When a SettingsCard's content is a button, it automatically sets its AutomationProperties.Name value to the button's content (as we can see here). This is not always desirable and can lead to some bugs with the narrator as the screenshots below shows.

In the SettingsCard, a simple workaround is to set the AutomationProperties.Name manually. But in the SettingsExpander, there is no way to change the behavior of its internal SettingsCard. This SettingCard then inherits the Content of the button, which in some cases may not even be a text (it is an icon in our case), and then the narrator when focusing the button, narrates it as the name of the group the button is in (in the case the button have an accessible name different than its content, which is also our case).

A current workaround for it is to put the button inside another control of different type, a StackPanel for example, but it has the cost of nesting one more group into the UI.

My suggestion is that the SettingsExpander's SettingsCard should not always use its button's content as accessible name, but either use the Title of the card or having the possibility of the developer to choose if want this behavior or not when using the control. Or maybe this internal SettingsCard should not have any accessible name at all.

Steps to reproduce

- Create a SettingsExpander.
- Set its content to be a button.
- Have the button to have a AutomationProperties.Name different from its content.
- Activate the narrator and focus the button.

Expected behavior

The narrator should say:
[Title of the SettingsExpander] group. [AutomationProperties.Name of the button] button.

Instead of:
[Content of the button] group. [AutomationProperties.Name of the button] button.
