 Use screen reader text instead of a title attribute in comments_popup_link

 To better understand screen reader text, check out
 https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/2015/02/09/hiding-text-for-
 screen-readers-with-wordpress-core/

 Screen Reader text improves the user experience for screen reader users.
 It provides additional context for links, document forms and other pieces
 of a page that may exist visually, but are lost when looking only at the
 html of a site.  This does change the output of comments_popup_link if you
 don't pass in values for $zero, $one, $more or $none. Theme authors can
 and should style <code>.screen-reader-text</code> in ways that are
 recommended in the above article to hide it visually.
