Use description for Mozilla dialogs instead of our own getDialogText code #630

Description

If aria-describedby is set on an ARIA dialog, Mozilla will expose this as the description. We should use this in preference to our own getDialogText code.

Test cases: tests 2 and 3 at http://www.accessibleculture.org/testing/aria/alertdialog/

Considerations:

  • Do we somehow stop our Dialog behavior from being used or do we tweak the Dialog behavior to not bother with getDialogText if description is valid?
  • Are there any cases where other dialogs provide a useless description? If so, we don't want to do this for all dialogs, only Mozilla ones.
