Testing: Expand tier 3 a11y coverage from 5 to 61 components

Broad coverage pass: one `default-state` a11y test per meaningful
component (UI primitives, dialogs, file explorer surfaces, network
browser, rename flow, toasts, indexing overlays, settings components,
6 representative settings sections, command palette, crash-reporter,
onboarding, licensing, MTP). Plus targeted multi-state tests on
high-interactivity components (dialogs, inputs, error panes).

**Findings — 4 real structural a11y issues** surfaced by tier 3 that
tier 2 (E2E) did not catch. Tests for these are skipped with
`it.skip(..., 'BLOCKED: <rule-id>')` + a concrete fix in the TODO
comment; grep for `BLOCKED:` to find them:

- `ProgressOverlay` — inner `ProgressBar`'s `role="progressbar"` has
  no accessible name (axe: `aria-progressbar-name`, serious). Fix:
  forward `ariaLabel={label}` from ProgressOverlay to ProgressBar.
- `KeyboardShortcutsSection` — shortcut pill renders
  `<span role="button">` inside an outer `<button>` (axe:
  `nested-interactive`, serious). Fix: split into two sibling controls
  or drop the inner `role="button"`.
- `NetworkBrowser` — host rows are `role="listitem"` without a
  `role="list"` parent (axe: `aria-required-parent`, critical). Fix:
  add `role="list"` to `.host-list` or use native `<ul>/<li>`.
- `ShareBrowser` — same pattern as NetworkBrowser.

**Scope cuts (not tested at tier 3):**
- `DualPaneExplorer`, `FilePane`, `DialogManager` — too composed /
  too many mocks; better covered by tier 2.
- `AiSection` + sub-sections — hybrid backend-runtime-state;
  tier-3-unfriendly.
- Route-level `+layout`/`+page` — not components, tier 2's turf.
- 7 settings sections (License, Themes, DriveIndexing, Updates, Mtp,
  Logging, Viewer) — mainly compositions of already-audited setting
  components.

**Totals:** 61 test files (up from 5), 146 passing + 5 skipped tests
(up from 23 passing, 0 skipped). Runs in ~6.3s via
`cd apps/desktop && pnpm vitest run 'a11y.test.ts'`.

Docs: `src/lib/ui/CLAUDE.md` § tier 3 — note that `BLOCKED:` TODOs
track real findings, not fake passes.
