USWDS - Link: Update placement and allow for opt out

[mejiaj]

Place label after link to follow W3C recommendation. Allow developers who have a custom implementation the option to easily remove label .

I agree that the "external link" or warning of opening in a new window needs to come after the link is announced to improve clarity. While the issue isn't a blocker for users, it is at least possibly confusing. Moving the announcement to the end of the link announcement will sound more like "Visit our website link name (link opens in a new window") which makes more sense to English speakers and users of English assistive tech.
