Action items:

• [x] When a message with suggested actions arrives, we should narrate it thru live region twin
• [x] Suggested actions container should be a toolbar role
  • Buttons will implement using the roving index mechanism
  • tabindex="0" for focusing button, tabindex="1" for non-focusing, so TAB key will skip all other buttons and move focus to next focusable after the container
• [x] ~Move accesskey attribute from the buttons to the suggested actions container~
• [x] (Optional) We may not need to narrate "suggested actions: is empty"
• [ ] (Optional and need asks) Carousel flipper buttons could have TAB disabled (tabindex="-1") to reduce confusion and complexity when pressing TAB key to access the suggested action buttons

Reopen to pend for verification.

This is done in PR #4323. Testers did not verify it on time, so we assume this is fixed properly.
