Toast - should focus container rather than close button when opened
Desired behaviour
When opening a Toast, the focus should be placed on the toast container so that screenreader users hear the toast message. The container should not be focusable again with the keyboard and pressing tab should take the focus to the close button.
Note: even where the Toast does not have a close button, the focus should go to the toast container so that screenreader users have the message read out.
Current behaviour
Focus goes to the close button where present, since Carbon version 109.3.0. In versions prior to that, and in all versions if the toast has no close button, the toast is not focused at all. When focus goes to the close button, screenreader users just hear "close button" but no information on what they are closing.
Suggested Solution
As under "desired behaviour". Note: similar behaviour is already implemented in Dialog, DialogFullScreen, Sidebar and MenuFullScreen.
