Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Networks and Sites: Improve accessibility of network
 admin pages.

On the Network Setup screen, associate the "Network Title" and "Network Admin Email" descriptions with their inputs via `aria-describedby`.

On the My Sites screen, change the site and "Global Settings" headings from `h3` to `h2` so the heading hierarchy doesn't skip a level. `h2` and `h3` share the same admin styles, so there is no visual change.

See #66205.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Networks and Sites: Correct heading levels on Network
 Setup.

Change the section headings from h3 to h2 so they follow the page h1 without skipping a level. The elements share the same admin styles, so this has no visual impact.

See #66205.
