Accessibility

(WAI-ARIA: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/breadcrumb/)

Be sure to add a aria-label description on the Breadcrumbs component.

The accessibility of this component relies on:

The set of links is structured using an ordered list (<ol> element).
To prevent screen reader announcement of the visual separators between links, they are hidden with aria-hidden.
A nav element labeled with aria-label identifies the structure as a breadcrumb trail and makes it a navigation landmark so that it is easy to locate.
