Message:

Administration: Remove aria-label on post titles.

The aria-label on post titles in list tables changes the accessible name from {post_title} to "{post_title}" (Edit). This change increases verbosity for screen readers and creates a mismatch between the visual text and the accessible name for voice command.

Remove the extraneous aria-label.

Props afercia, rianrietveld, iworks, muddassirnasim, joedolson.
Fixes #33002.
