Tom Byers 2639406ae2 Simulate page load announcement in autofocus JS
Screenreaders announce the title of the page when
it loads and their users are used to it signifying
a new page.

By focusing a form control when the page loads,
this announcement is replaced with that of the
control label.

This commit prefixes the label with the page title so it
gets announced when the page loads, notifying
screenreader users that they are on a new page.

The page title prefix is removed once focus shifts
from the form control as its presence in any
further announcements could be confusing.
