 The category block is supposed to replace the category widget, however the
 accessibility label is missing in the block.

 Here is the interesting part of the widget output:
 {{{
 <form action="http://monsite.com" method="get">
 <label class="screen-reader-text" for="cat">Categories</label>
 <select name="cat" id="cat" class="postform">
         <option value="-1">Select Category</option>
         <option class="level-0" value="277">Cat</option>
         <option class="level-0" value="1">Uncategorized</option>
 </select>
 </form>
 }}}
 An acessibility label is present.

 Here is the output for the corresponding block (I removed the javascript
 part as it is useless for the demonstration):
 {{{
 <div class="wp-block-categories-dropdown wp-block-categories">
 <select name="cat" id="wp-block-categories-1" class="postform">
         <option value="-1">Select Category</option>
         <option class="level-0" value="277">Cat</option>
         <option class="level-0" value="1">Uncategorized</option>
 </select>
 </div>
 }}}
 There is no accessibility label.
