 The old list tables for themes and theme installation include title
 attributes:
 - 'This theme is already installed and is up to date' on 'Installed' spans
 - 'Update to version %s' on 'Update' links
 - 'Install %s' on an 'Install Now' link
 - 'Preview %s' on a 'Preview' link
 - 'Preview “%s”' on a screenshot thumbnail image (linked with
 empty `alt`)
 - 'Activate “%s”'on an 'Activate' link

 If sites can still access these list tables, the attributes could be worth
 removing and/or replacing.

 @alh0319 suggested replacing the `title` with `aria-label` for the
 thumbnail image link, but removing the other `title` attributes.
