Per a chat with @Nirzar today, maybe we should have actual text labels, hidden except for screen reader software, for buttons which only have icons/indicators? Or, in other words, maybe we should force always having a label and sometimes just not display it. We generally use a 'title' for these now (although it is not enforced), this proposes using actual label (not title text). There is some overlap with {T88979} but they seem distinct to me.

We need to provide actual text labels, hidden except for screenreader software, for buttons which only have icons/indicators.

Current widgets insufficient to screenreaders in order of magnitude: [] ButtonWidgets (icon only, indicator only, icon and indicator – everything except label) [] PopupButtonWidgets as special case with ButtonElement parent featuring `aria-haspopup` with `.oo-ui-element-hidden` class on child `div` [x] NumberInputWidget buttons – https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/431635
