 Steps to reproduce with NVDA 2015.4:
 1. Open the update screen
 2. Select plugins or themes table. (important to have new versions
 available).
 3. When you press the f key, it jumps to "select all checkbox" checkbox,
 NVDA announces correctly. But when you press f key again, NVDA announces
 "checkbox", but you don't get any information about its label.

 Solution:
 Aria-label solves it, and it doesn't cause any design problem (it appears
 only for the screen readers)
 I've created a patch, which is solve this problem.
