Title:
  Modal status messages are not perceivable by screen reader

Status in Mahara:
  New

Bug description:
  It was found that the status messages (saved, error etc...) are not
  perceivable by a Screen Reader (SR).  This was tested in a session
  with Julius focusing on the "Comments and Details" modal when viewing
  blocks in "Details" mode BUT it could apply to further modals that can
  have status messages, i.e anything that requires a comment, annotation
  etc...

  The steps when testing with the SR:
  1. Log in to Mahara site as any user, and create a new page or edit an existing one
  2. Add a block, such as an image block and then put page into 'Details' mode
  3. Select to add a comment to the Image block by clicking its block header or image
  4. In the modal, attempt to make a blank comment.
  Expected results:
  The modal stays open, with the error message "There was an error with submitting this form. Please check the marked fields and try again." correctly labelled to be read by a SR
  Actual results:
  The modal stays open with the error message but it is not perceivable by a SR
  5. Enter text in the comment field to create a comment
  6. Reopen the modal and select to delete the newly created comment
  Expected results:
  The modal stays open with the status message "Comment removed" perceivable by SR
  Actual results:
  The modal stays open with the status message but it is not detected by the SR
