Issue Summary

The success notification which appears when user create any issue is not accessible for screen reader & keyboard users. 

This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the "Create" link in the header section and activate it.
2. Fill Information inside the dialog and activate "create" button.
3. Observe that a success notification appears which contains link to the issue.
4. The notification is not accessible for screen reader & keyboard-only users.

Actual Results

While navigating with a screen reader, when user Create a new issue from the "create" modal dialog, a success notification message appears on the page. But screen reader doesn’t announce the same. Also keyboard only users can’t navigate to inside the notification since it automatically disappears after 4 seconds.

This makes screen reader and keyboard-only users difficult to access the success notification on Jira.

Expected Results

As soon as the success notification appears the screen reader should announce it. Also the keyboard-only users should be able to navigate to the contents inside it. The notification should not be automatically dismissed. It should be visible on the page until users closes it explicitly.

Provide an ARIA live region to the notification. Use role="alert" or aria-live="assertive" to the container in code. Also update scripts to make sure that the notification contents receive keyboard focus.
