 Accessibility: Ensure embed iframes have a title attribute.

 Screen reader users rely on the iframe title attribute to describe the
 contents of iframes. A meaningful title attribute allows to quickly
 identify the iframe content, so users can determine which iframe to enter
 and explore in detail or skip if desired.
 Note: this is the only case where a title attribute is required for
 compliance with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

 - checks for oEmbed response of type `video` or `rich`
 - checks if they use an iframe
 - fetches the title (if any) from the oEmbed response
 - adds the title to the embed iframe

 Props bamadesigner, TomHarrigan, swissspidy, jrf, afercia.
 Fixes #40245.
