What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Bug fix (Accessibility)
What is the current behavior?
VoiceOver reads the form field's line ripple, focus overlay, and hint spacer as
empty "group" elements. These are purely visual/decorative elements that do not
contribute meaningful content to assistive technology users.
Related to #32797.
Closes #32850
What is the new behavior?
aria-hidden="true"to theMatFormFieldLineRippledirective hostbindings (the animated underline for filled appearance form fields)
aria-hidden="true"to the focus overlay<div>(the hover/focusbackground effect for filled appearance form fields)
aria-hidden="true"to the hint spacer<div>(a flexbox spacerbetween start and end hints)
These elements are purely decorative and should be hidden from the
accessibility tree, consistent with the existing pattern used for the required
marker asterisk in the same template.
Additional context
This follows the same pattern established in PR #32816 for hiding decorative
SVG elements from assistive technology in the radio component.
