Excessive announcements in screen readers #93

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The date picker dialog announces the month and year frequently in screen readers.

On opening of the dialog, because div.duet-date__dialog is aria-labelledby the aria-live H2
On change of either the month or date using the select inputs or previous/next buttons
On entering the table, because table.duet-date__table is aria-labelledby the aria-live H2

Describe the solution you'd like

replace aria-labelledby on div.duet-date__dialog with aria-label="Date picker" to provide context for the feature.
leave the aria-live H2 as is, since it provides useful updates
remove the aria-labelledby from table.duet-date__table
