Description
While adding better accessibility/VoiceOver support for an app, I've noticed a couple of areas where Xamarin is missing some accessibility features in Xamarin for iOS (but are available in Swift).
- `accessibilityLabel` for the title in a navigation item
- `accessibilityElements`
### Steps to Reproduce
**accessibilityLabel**
Description: If one tries to add an `accessibilityLabel` to a navigation item's `title`, it results in a compilation error.
Example: `this.NavigationItem.Title.AccessibilityLabel = "Some Text";`
**accessibilityElements**
Description: The `accessibilityElements` property is missing for views. This is useful if one wants to put together a specific order that VoiceOver should read elements on a page.
Example: `this.View.AccessibilityElements = [button1, button2, button3];`
### Expected Behavior
The expected behavior is that these accessibility properties should be available on Xamarin for iOS.
### Actual Behavior
The actual behavior is that these properties are not available.
