A11y: Add Room/ Selection Mode Buttons should have Accessilble ATK names

The ButtonsAdd Room/ Selection Mode Buttons should have accessible Names. Reproduce 1. Enable Orca 2. Tab to Add Room / Selection mode Buttons via tab result: orca is only able to announce "pushbutton" Except: orca can read a lable for the Buttons like "Add Room" Button or "Selection Mode" Button
Maybe it would also good if the "userlist" Button does not only announce just an integer. it would be good if the accessible name is "12 Users" (if 12 users are in the current room) . this is more easy for blind people for orientation than just a numbner.
Created attachment 297711 [details] [review] mainWindow: Improve accessible name of user-list button By only showing a single number, the user-list menu button clearly errs on the side of space efficiency and visual cleanness rather than discoverability. Those are not concerns for the accessible name though, so we can use a less concise label there.
Created attachment 297712 [details] [review] ui: Set accessible name for join-menu button The button uses only an image, which makes it "blank" to accessibility tools like screen readers. Ouch. Set a (hopefully) descriptive name to fix.

The selection-mode button has been removed for 3.16. (In reply to chris from comment #1) > Maybe it would also good if the "userlist" Button does not only announce > just an integer. That makes a lot of sense, so I added that as well.
