  • Adds a unique class to the live announcer element that is automatically created by the LiveAnnouncer. Similarly to the overlay container, the live announcer should be also distinguishable (e.g. for testing)

This might look a bit unnecessary, but I think just creating a global DOM element that has cdk-visually-hidden is pretty much confusing. For testing, it's not really safe to either use [aria-live] or .cdk-visually-hidden because there can be similar elements in the app. Also there might be use-cases where people want to customize the pre-created live element and could now easily query for the element.

@jelbourn I don't really feel too strong about this, so I'm also fine closing this, if desired.

LGTM, I think this is a good idea and that we should do the same for the AriaDescriber
