small fix: info and warning bars expose duplicate messages to screen readers #5240

The Infobar and WarningBar widgets use a visually hidden live region to announce their message; this region contains the same text as the visible label (after a small delay).

This change marks visible labels as aria-hidden, otherwise virtual cursor navigation with screen reader "sees" both, which is redundant.
