 When there are no activities yet, the Dashboard Activity Widget displays a
 smiley icon:

 It's a `dashicon` inside an empty paragraph and some screen readers,
 depending also on verbosity settings, may announce it as "text element".
 It's a very minor issue but the fix is trivial, just add an `aria-
 hidden="true"` attribute on the paragraph.
