 From the quidelines:

 > If a particular role appears more than once on a page, you should
 provide an ARIA label for that role

 We do this already for `<navigation>` but not for `<aside>`. Just like
 navigation there can be several `<aside role="complementary">`  in the
 theme and we should provide labels for them. Otherwise screen readers
 would announce 2 "complementary" regions without knowing the separation of
 them

 I propose that we add labels to `<aside>` with the same as widget names:

 1. Blog Sidebar
 1. Footer 1
 1. Footer 2
