fix(a11y): give every wa-dialog an accessible name
Eleven dialogs passed a `label` that never reached the accessibility
tree: Web Awesome renders it into an <h2 id="title"> in the same shadow
root as the native <dialog> and never points aria-labelledby at it, so
getByRole('dialog', {name}) matched nothing and a screen reader
announced an unnamed dialog. a11y.md lists all of them under "what is
already correct".

utils/name-dialog.ts sets the IDREF, with aria-label as the fallback for
without-header (first-run-wizard), called from each host's updated().
aria-labelledby rather than aria-label because three call sites compute
their label at render time, and the heading re-renders anyway. It waits
for the dialog's own first update: wa-dialog populates its shadow root
in its own update, so a query at the host's firstUpdated names nothing.

Reaching into another library's open shadow root is deliberate and the
failure is bounded — if the structure moves, the query misses and the
dialog is as unnamed as it was.

/**
* Every `wa-dialog` in this app was an unnamed dialog.
*
* `a11y.md` lists all of them under "what is already correct" and notes
* that every call site passes a `label`. Both true, and the label never
* reached the accessibility tree: Web Awesome renders it into an
* `<h2 id="title">` in the same shadow root as the native `<dialog>` and
* never points `aria-labelledby` at it.
*
* What this tier can and cannot check is worth stating, because the
* distinction is the whole reason the e2e spec also exists. It queries
* shadow roots directly, so it can assert the *wiring* — the IDREF, and
* that it resolves to a heading carrying the label. It cannot compute an
* accessible name; `getByRole('dialog', {name})` is Playwright's job,
* and `e2e/specs/dialog-names.spec.ts` does it there.
