Comment (by afercia):

 Discussed a bit in today's accessibility weekly chat. While there are
 probably better solutions, thinking for example at the Plugins table where
 the item name has no link so there are no duplicated links and everything
 is clearer for assistive technologies, decided to stick to the original
 goal of this ticket and just remove the title attributes. Further
 improvements will be evaluated with time and will have their own tickets.

 About the `aria-label` for the linked item name a slight preference was
 expressed for moving "Edit" at the end of the string, taking into
 consideration that screen readers will announce the column header saying
 "Name", something like:
 {{{
 Name column 2
 "My nice item with a very long name" Edit link
 }}}

 would be clearer than:

 {{{
 Name column 2
 Edit "My nice item with a very long name" link
 }}}

 This should apply to all the similar links in the list tables in the
 admin.
