Description

### Describe the bug

Screen Readers don't announce important information when SegmentedControls are used. They are
1. Position in set
2. SizeOfSet
3. IsSelected

### Regression

_No response_

### Reproducible in sample app?

- [ ] This bug can be reproduced in the sample app.

### Steps to reproduce

```text
1. Clone the devhome repo at www.github.com/microsoft/devhome
2. Click on "Maching Configuration" in the nav bar
3. Click on "Clone Repositories"
4. Click on "Add Repositories"
5. Tab on the segmented control.

Keep in mind I added the PositionInSet and SizeOfSet automation properties. Without these the screen reader is incorrect.
```

### Expected behavior

When tabbing over the account tab, the screen reader should say "Account, 1 of 2" When tabbing over the URL tab the screen reader should say "URL, 1 of 2, selected"
