Bug description:
[ Impact ]
An user that relies on a screen reader won't be able to know what
characters are available in each key combination.
This has been fixed upstream with
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/tecla/-/merge_requests/32
[ Test plan ]
* Enable the screen reader
* Launch `tecla`
* Press any key in the keyboard. A popup with the available characters will
be shown, but the screen reader will say nothing. With the patch, it will read
the (currently) four alternative characters generated by that key when pressed
alone, with Shift, AltGr...
[ Where problems could occur ]
This patch just adds an accessibility label, so, in general, any
possible problem should be just wrong accessibility data spoken
through the screen reader, but no impact is expected for the average
user.
