Description

Elements such as `` output html that shows validation messages and the label has a class of `.md-required`, but these do little for accessibility. Any form element that is required should pass through a `required` or `aria-required="true"` attribute into the element itself for A11y tools to be able to read. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_aria-required_attribute

This should apply to Paper Input (including `textarea={{true}}`, Paper Autocomplete, Ember Select
Ideally Paper Radio Paper Switch and Paper Checkbox as well, but it seems some of that work is a work-in-progress https://github.com/miguelcobain/ember-paper/pull/692
