Bug Description

Mahara: master

A few recommendations for fields marked with '*' (i.e. required):

1. Have a text at the beginning of the form to note that 'Fields marked with a * are required'.
2. Use 'aria-requied=true' property for required fields. Please refer to: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/ARIA2.html

1. 'Fields marked with a * are required' is displayed for Home page.

Test step:

Logout>Enter while User name and password are blank

2. Also when there is multiple screen, 'Fields marked with a * are required' should only be shown on the screen where it is required:

Test step:
Content>Profile
Social media or General tab

or

Content>Files
