Add aria-describedBy to room list menus

On VoiceOver this just adds the the name of the room after 'More Options' and 'Notifications' even though it's already been spoken when you focused the room tile, which doesn't seem too helpful to me but it was explicitly requested.

This seems far too chatty to be a good idea, have you ran this by our a11y community? This seems like an XY problem.
