KPropertiesDialog/General: Make accessible

Felix Ernst requested to merge felixernst/kio:a11y_properties into master

This merge request makes the "General" tab in the file properties dialog pretty much fully accessible.

  • Allow keyboard focus to go to the information text labels when pressing the Tab key.
  • Set buddies for labels so the context of information is clear.
  • Add accessible information whenever the context is still not clear.
  • Change the Tab key focus order to go from top to bottom as expected.

Known issues: The KIO-external widgets KIconButton and KCapacityBar are not fully accessible, meaning the information they display does not seem to be announced by screen readers even if keyboard focus goes to them.
