Description

### Code of conduct

- [X] I agree to follow this project's code of conduct.

### Impacted component(s)

sp-tooltip, sp-action-button, sp-overlay-trigger, sp-popover

### Expected behavior

Expect VoiceOver to read the content of a sp-tooltip when user either hovers or keyboard focuses on the sp-action-button

### Actual behavior

VoiceOver tells me to use `control-option-space` to interact with the button, but no tooltip content is read out

Research direction

Start with the linked sample code and inspect the sp-tooltip, sp-action-button, sp-overlay-trigger, and sp-popover components involved in the reproduction. Use Chrome with VoiceOver to verify the current behavior for hover and keyboard focus. Done means VoiceOver reads the tooltip content in both interaction cases.
