Fix accelerator characters shown in accessible label of controls (PR #26275)
Quin Gillespie
The fix in 85c436d (Fix accessible label of checkboxes broken by
recent changes, 2026-03-06) made wxWindowAccessible::GetName() return
GetLabel() for all controls. However, GetLabel() returns the raw label
including '&' accelerator markers (e.g. "&Minimize to system tray"),
causing screen readers to announce the literal ampersand.
Fix this by passing the label through wxControl::GetLabelText(), which
strips accelerator markers, guarded by wxUSE_CONTROLS for configurations
that don't include controls.
See #26270.
