 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61636"
 A11y: Update `.screen-reader-text` class with `word-break`.

 `word-break: normal !important;` was added to Twenty Twenty in [46701],
 but the change missed getting propagated to all uses of the screen-reader-
 text class at that time.

 Add `word-break` reset to `.screen-reader-text` to ensure screen readers
 won't read text as individual letters in hidden text.

 Fixes #64375.
