Android accessibility: prefer "hint" for text fields labels.
Android's AccessibilityNodeInfo does not have a separate field for the value of a text field, but it does have a "hint" field. Suppose a text field has some accessible label - like a aria-label or a placeholder. Previously Chrome exposed that as the field's text if the field was empty, and the hint if the field had user-entered text. This is confusing because once the user starts entering text, the label jumps from the text to the hint. Instead, always expose the label as the hint, and let the text be empty initially.
