A11y: unable to get GtkButton caption when accessibility name is set

Steps to reproduce

  1. set accessibility name on a GtkButton
  2. start accerciser and locate the button
  3. observe that there's only accessibility name available, no way to obtain button caption

Current behavior

currently there's only accessibility get_name property which is not enough in such cases.

Expected outcome

GtkButton should implement text interface like label, so the button caption would be exposed without changing A11y api.

This way both accessibility name and button caption would be easily reachable through a11y api

Version information

All GTk/A11y Versions

Additional info

Windows and macOS both implement this so it's possible to access button caption when it's accessibility name is set.
