Title:
  Input help text should be linked using ARIA

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  It would be helpful for users of screen readers to be able to hear the help text assigned to form fields. Setting the aria-describedby attribute on the input is probably the best way to do this.
  This is especially important for inputs which require a specific format (such as dates)

  Affects latest master (using Orca 3.4.2)
