Accessibility: Icon buttons don't have descriptive text
What happened?
Currently, in many parts of the UI (e.g. the note action buttons in SkNote and friends), there are icon buttons without any text label describing what they do. Additionally, icon buttons with tooltips, such as the ones in MkPostForm, still don't appear to expose a proper description to screen readers (in Firefox's accessibility inspector, these buttons have names like "\ue2cc").
What did you expect to happen?
Icons in the UI should have descriptive text for users who rely on screen readers - and ideally, that text would also be exposed in a tooltip/similar, as it could also be useful for sighted users who don't know what a button does. Also, if an icon button has a tooltip, its text should also be used as the button's description (at least as a fallback).
