[a11y] Add content descriptions to room list item indicators (#5236)

* [a11y] Add content descriptions to room list item indicators. These can now be read aloud as 'ongoing call', 'new messages', 'new mentions'.

* Add `contentDescription` to `UnreadIndicatorAtom` as an optional value

* Make the 'ongoing call', 'new messages', etc. indicators be read aloud before the latest event of the room summary
