Message:

Accessibility: Ensure only text is sent to aria-live messages.

While messages passed to wp.speak.a11y() should preferably be meaningful,
short, and carefully crafted case by case, this will ensure any HTML tags will
be stripped out from the message string.

Props adamsilverstein.
Fixes #37382.
