Pull Request for Issue #39496.

Summary of Changes

Base on code at https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/4.2-dev/build/media_source/system/js/fields/validate.es6.js#L192 and https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/4.2-dev/build/media_source/system/js/fields/validate.es6.js#L194 , to validate a radio form field as required, the fieldset element in radio form field layout must has class attribute contains radio . The element also need to have required attribute or required in it's class.

Since required is not a valid attribute for fieldset element, I set class="required radio" when the field is required to address the issue.
