Subject: [PATCH] Fix screen reader announcing only button name, not associated
 description in WPF Gallery

Fold the card Description into AutomationProperties.Name for HeaderTile (5 home tiles) and NavigationCardTemplate (overview/category cards) so Narrator announces both the title and its associated descriptive text. Addresses AzDO 3019241.
