Problem Description
reopening this issue #3768

In all action buttons with iconUrl, there's no place in the schema to define alt attribute for this icon.
We're rendering the buttons as icons (without title).
Expected Outcome
There should be an attribute in the schema to define alt text for the icon in action button.
Actual Outcome
In all action buttons with iconUrl, there's no place in the schema to define alt attribute for this icon.
Card JSON
Referencing an old issue #3768, alt attribute is missing in the schema for Submit actions and other types of actions

Research direction
The issue concerns the Adaptive Cards schema and action buttons that use iconUrl in Reflect on Windows. Begin by locating the schema definition and the action-button rendering or test entry points; done means an alt-text attribute can be specified for these icons and is available when buttons are rendered without titles.
