Comment:

 [attachment:"16206.6.patch"] hides the required field message from screen
 readers with `aria-hidden`.

 The patch also uses a `$required_glyph` variable for easier customization
 in #23870. This results in an `aria-hidden` span inside the hidden field
 message span, but the redundancy is probably better than trying to make a
 special case.
