Bug description

After uploading files to a File Drop, an icon indicating the file type is displayed next to the file name (e.g. a small PDF icon for PDF files). Because the icon is neither labeled nor hidden from accessibility APIs, it's described as an unlabeled image when using certain screen readers together with certain browsers (such as Google TalkBack + Google Chrome).

Relevant HTML snippet (after file upload):

<ul id="drop-uploaded-files">
  <li title="Example.pdf" data-name="Example.pdf">
    <img src="/apps/theming/img/core/filetypes/application-pdf.svg?v=1b3d5f7a"> Example.pdf
  </li>
</ul>

Since the file type is inferred based on the file extension alone and does not provide any new information not already contained in the filename, the icon is merely a visual aid. I believe the icon should therefore be hidden from accessibility APIs with aria-hidden="true".

Steps to reproduce

1. Create new file request
2. Upload a file to File Drop

Expected behavior

Image is ignored by accessibility APIs

I noticed that the icon displayed next to the uploaded files not only indicates the file type, but can also indicate that the upload of a specific file has failed. Rather than hiding the icon from the accessibility tree, it could be labeled in accordance with the file type (for successfully uploaded files) or with an "upload failed" label (for unsuccessfully uploaded files).
