### Issue Description
In the Accessibility Guidelines for modals, it says:
> In the above example the logical choice for an accessible name would be the `ion-title` of "Welcome". We can associate the modal with this by setting the `aria-labelled` attribute and giving the `ion-title` an id:
Leaving aside that it should be `aria-labelledby`, this has never worked as the only two attributes that are pushed down to the actual `div` that also gets assigned the `role` attribute of "dialog" are `role` and `aria-label`, as seen here in [the code for modal](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/main/core/src/components/modal/modal.tsx#L367).
So either the code needs a fix to support `aria-labelledby`, or the docs need to be adjusted.
