Add aria-labelledby and aria-describedby to all question type inputs, connecting them to the question title and description so screen readers announce them when a respondent focuses an input field. Fixes #3172 Signed-off-by: Peter Ringelmann <peter.ringelmann@nextcloud.com>

Summary
Screen readers couldn't associate question inputs with their title or description when tabbing through a form submission. This adds
aria-labelledbyandaria-describedbyto all question type components, pointing to the title<h3>and description<div>for each question.For Dropdown, File, and Color - where the input already has its own accessible name - the input is wrapped in
div[role="group"]so the question title is announced at the group level without overriding the input's own label.Also centralizes
titleId/descriptionIdin QuestionMixin.js (previously duplicated in QuestionMultiple and QuestionGrid).TODO
