 #29748 added translator comments for hidden accessibility text. However,
 text in a hidden fieldset `legend` often matches the visible text
 immediately before it (in a `th` cell or a heading).

 I think the 'Hidden accessibility text' comment should be removed from:
 - all of the hidden legends in `options-discussion.php`, `options-
 general.php`, `options-media.php`, `options-permalink.php`, `options-
 reading.php`, and `options-writing.php`
 - the legend for site or search engine visibility in `install.php`
 - all five hidden legends in `includes/class-custom-background.php`
 - most—but not all—hidden legends in `includes/meta-boxes.php` ('Target'
 and the XFN option groups for the old Links Manager)
 - 'Administration Color Scheme' in `includes/misc.php` because it has the
 same text visible in `user-edit.php`
 - 'Enable menus' in `network/settings.php`, **if** it changes to match the
 visible 'Enable administration menus' text
 - none of the legends in `edit-form-comment.php`, `export.php` or `network
 /site-info.php`
