Description

Adding aria labels and screen reader texts to icons and chips on roles and permission tabs to be accessible for screen readers.
Issues fixed:
1 - On the Roles tab, the Chips with disabled state were read as same as non disabled.
2 - On the Roles tab, the numbers after each role had no alt text associated with the 👤 icon.
3 - On the Permissions tab, the ✅ and ❌ icons were hidden entirely from screen readers.
It closes #48.

To test it, use an screen reader (example: VoiceOver on macOs, Sidepanel Chrome extension) to go over the described issues above and verify they are read correctly.
