Subject: Add explicit aria-label to placeholder-only inputs

While `placeholder` is nominally valid per spec
http://rawgit.com/w3c/html-api-map/master/index.html#accessible-name-and-description-calculation
it is inelegant, a fallback, and not supported in ios/safari/voiceover
and android/chrome/talkback, to name a few combinations

`aria-describedby` is also not really the right tool for providing a
name/label equivalent, so remove that from the list of possible
alternative methods / clarify how it can be used

 Screen readers will have trouble with your forms if you don't include a label for every input. For these input groups, ensure that any additional label or functionality is conveyed to assistive technologies.
 
-The exact technique to be used (`<label>` elements hidden using the `.sr-only` class, or use of the `aria-label`, `aria-labelledby`, `aria-describedby`, `title` or `placeholder` attribute) and what additional information will need to be conveyed will vary depending on the exact type of interface widget you're implementing. The examples in this section provide a few suggested, case-specific approaches.
