A11y: Get Help app accordion sections don't indicate to screen reader users their state

Project Member Reported by dsexton@chromium.org, Sep 27

Issue description

Chrome: 71.0.3358.0

Steps to repro:
# Enable chromevox with ctrl+alt+z
# Launch the 'get help' app from the launcher
# Choose 'get connected' tab
# Use search+right arrow to get to the accordion buttons
# Notice that Chromevox does not indicate if the button is collapsed or expanded
# Press the button with search+space
# Notice nothing is announced 

Expected: Chromevox would announce the state of the button.
For example: aria-expanded attribute could be added to the button and set to 'true' when expanded and 'false' when collapsed

Actual: Screen reader users don't know that these buttons expose additional content and that they can be pressed again to hide the content
 
Components: Platform>Apps>GetHelp
Google Chrome	72.0.3593.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)
Firmware Version	Google_Caroline.7820.384.0

UI has slightly changed but the problem is a bit worse. Please follow these steps:

# Enable chromevox with ctrl+alt+z
# Launch the 'get help' app from the launcher
# Choose the "Get started" tab
# Move keyboard focus to the "switch to a chromebook" tab
# Press search + space as indicated
Expected: indication of expanded or collapsed information per comments above
Actual: just says button, no indication of state

# Use linear navigation to get into the headings such as "Get a Google Account"
Expected: some way to expand and collapse the info (and have the state read per above)
Actual: no way to collapse this info, totally unusable by a screen reader user
