Improve the block mover buttons accessibility #557

Closed

Description

The block mover buttons are empty, there's no text or aria-label at all, thus there's nothing that can be announced by assistive technologies.
For screen readers, they could use hidden text or an aria-label. I'd recommend to test them also with speech recognition software, really not sure how they can be activated if they have no visible text at all.

Additionally, the color contrast is really low. As a reminder, the WCAG level AA WordPress aims for requires a color contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1.

Of course, these buttons should be fully operable when using only a keyboard.
