## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->
We are not ever explicitly setting `aria-checked`. For checked and
unchecked states (i.e. `true` and `false` for aria-checked), we don't
need to set `aria-checked` because an input with a type of 'checkbox'
has built-in semantics making `aria-checked` redundant.

However, when the checkbox is in an indeterminate state, `aria-checked`
should have a value of 'mixed'. We are not currently ever setting it to
'mixed'. See
[MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-checked#description)
for more details.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

- The checkbox's `aria-checked` has a value of 'true' when it is checked
- The checkbox's `aria-checked` has a value of 'false' when it is
unchecked
- The checkbox's `aria-checked` has a value of 'mixed' when it is
indeterminate
