 In [changeset:"45416" 45416]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="45416"
 Accessibility: Improve settings tables and forms after [45403].

 - adds `role="presentation"` to the edit comment table
 - removes a few pointless `<fieldset>` elements
 - adds a few missing `<label>` elements
 - adds the CSS class `class="td-full"` to table rows spanning to multiple
 cells
 - adds explicit `scope="row"` attribute to the table headers in `options-
 permalink.php`: this table is better communicated as data table
 - uses consistent label association in the "Privacy Settings" page
 - in the installation page "Set up your database connection": associates
 descriptions to their inout fields using `aria-describedby`
 - improves the link to gravatar.com in the `user-edit.php` page

 See #46899.
 Fixes #47390.
