This turns the selected items text into an aria-live region so that screen readers announce changes to the item browse table. The text has been adjusted to "Items selected: #", as Voiceover was reading the previous text's updated number in the wrong order. This also gets around the awkward grammar of "1 selected items".

This ensures Voiceover reads the string in the correct order, also
addresses awkward plural phrasing when only one item selected.

(#1141)
