Subject: [PATCH] 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.
