 Testing Info:

 This patch impacts two places in the Customizer.

 1) Homepage Settings: Add new page for Home page and Posts page.
 2) Add New Menu item: Add new item of any post type for the menu.

 Steps (1):
 - Choose "Static Page" as the home page settings.
 - Click the Add button without providing text.

 Steps (2):
 - Navigate to Menus in the customizer.
 - Add items to a menu.
 - Navigate to the 'Add {post type}' item in post lists.
 - Click the 'Add' button without providing text.

 Before:

 - No visible text error.
 - No screen reader announcement of behavior.
 - Poor quality visual indicator.

 After:

 - Visible text error.
 - Screen reader announcement with text of error.
 - Stronger outline consistent with other error messages.

 The two inputs have slightly different error messages, but should
 otherwise behave the same.
