Improve screen-reader support

Targeting issues raised in #341 and as part of #84.

  • Heading structure: > not supported by upstream Compose (https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/2119)
    • "Welcome to Briar" on login and main screen (no chats)
    • contact name in chat screen
    • "Settings" on SettingsScreen
  • Image(Button) contentDescription:
    • Briar logo on login > only of decorative nature, automatically skipped over by VoiceOver
    • back and info button on login > !223 (merged) and info button already "About Briar Desktop" on main
    • menu button in chat screen > already "Show Contact Menu" on main
    • add contact button without chats > fixed on main
    • attachment button in chat screen > fixed on main
  • Missing context:
    • show password buttons on login/change password > automatically grouped on macOS/VoiceOver
    • labels for text fields (registration screen) > !225 (merged)
  • Missing list grouping:
    • contact list > !218 (merged)
    • settings as list > !224 (merged)
  • Missing state information (expanded/collapsed): Dropdowns/Pop-Ups not supported by Compose https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/2185
    • menu button in chat screen
    • theme/language settings, also dynamic changes
  • Misc:
    • error message on login (not read out loud) > upstream bug: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/2277
    • about dialog (no exit button, table not marked as such, email is not link) > !221 (merged)
    • message count/online status in contact list > !218 (merged)
    • "keyboard trap" in compose message text field (tab button is stuck in text field) > !222 (merged)
    • Missing landmarks on MainScreen to convey structure to screen-reader user > not supported by Compose
    • Keyboard focus does not go to close button on add contact dialog > probably missing OS-functionality on Ubuntu/Orca which is anyhow not supported, confirmed to work on macOS with VoiceOver as expected
    • Dropdown not marked as such (settings) > Dropdowns/Pop-Ups not supported by Compose https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/2185
    • Briar link name/label on Add Contact dialog > !230 (merged)
    • Add attachment button not keyboard-focusable on macOS > !222 (merged)
