Comments: Remove aria-hidden="true" attribute for visible text in comment template.

This changeset removes aria-hidden="true" attribute used for required fields in comments template, for better accessibility. It removes the attribute from both wp_required_field_indicator() and wp_required_field_message() patterns.

Follow-up to [53888].

Props juliemoynat, audrasjb, joedolson, sabernhardt, afercia, costdev.
