A <figure>'s aria-label and description is not spoken when it has a child element with aria-hidden="true" #14514

Steps to reproduce:

Given the following html:

<body>
  <h1>Heading 1</h1>
  <h2>Heading 2</h2>
  <figure aria-label="Label for figure" aria-description="A Description">
    <p aria-hidden="true">I'm paragraph text</p>
  </figure>
</body>

NVDA will not read the label or description for the figure element. This appears to be due to the child <p> having aria-hidden="true". When the aria-hidden attribute is removed NVDA will read the figure's label and description as expected.

Also, changing the <figure> to a <div> with a role="figure" reads as expected, so the following will read the label and description while properly ignoring the child <p>:

<body>
  <h1>Heading 1</h1>
  <h2>Heading 2</h2>
  <div aria-role="figure" aria-label="Label for figure" aria-description="A Description">
    <p aria-hidden="true">I'm paragraph text</p>
  </div>
</body>

Actual behavior:

The <figure> label and description attributes are not read when there is a child element that has aria-hidden="true"

Expected behavior:

NVDA should read the label and description attributes and ignore the hidden child elements using the <figure> element.
