Comment (by afercia):

 > Seems to work properly here in Chromium and Firefox, needs testing in
 other/older browsers.

 Tested on macOS Safari with and without VoiceOver. Tested on Windows:
 - Firefox with and without NVDA
 - Chrome with and without NVDA
 - IE 11

 Works as expected. The "Select files" button is operable with mouse and
 keyboard. Screen readers don't announce the hidden input file any longer.

 Can't test on mobile, Edge, or other "exotic" browsers.
