Description
### Prerequisites
- [X] I have read the [Contributing Guidelines](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#creating-an-issue).
- [X] I agree to follow the [Code of Conduct](https://ionicframework.com/code-of-conduct).
- [X] I have searched for [existing issues](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/issues) that already include this feature request, without success.
### Describe the Feature Request
The clear button on the `ion-searchbar` has an `aria-label` of "reset" ([code here](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/5a5f330705f77a8971119fad448101a5504d8e5e/core/src/components/searchbar/searchbar.tsx#L636)), which is not clear enough for screenreader users. The label should be more descriptive, perhaps “clear search input”.
### Describe the Use Case
"Reset" may be unclear to screenreader users, and so the button's `aria-label` should be more descriptive.
### Describe Preferred Solution
Two possible solutions:
1. Add a prop so that consuming applications can optionally pass their own `aria-label` for the searchbar's "clear button".
2. Update the existing `aria-label` ([here](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/5a5f330705f77a8971119fad448101a5504d8e5e/core/src/components/searchbar/searchbar.tsx#L636)) to be something more descriptive, like "clear search input".
Thank you!!
