 When an image upload fails, there should be a screen reader announcement
 to go along with the visible notice of the error.

 Additionally, there should be a confirmation announcement for screen
 reader users when the error is dismissed.

 See #60074.

 The initial screen reader announcement should match the visible
 announcement, e.g. "filename.file has failed to upload". In my opinion,
 the additional reasons given are not very useful; the notification of
 failure is sufficient, and the user can explore to discover further
 information.

 The dismiss button is in context, and could use `aria-describedby` for an
 explicit relationship with the notice being dismissed to provide
 confidence. The error message can simply be "Error dismissed".

 There's no need to provide further detail on the error message being
 dismissed, because there is no action performed here *other* than the
 removal of a message; it's a non-breaking, non-critical action, which will
 happen automatically on leaving the page, anyway.
