Onboard should provide an accessible description for its indicator.

The indicator API now supports adding accessible/textual descriptions to indicators via the app_indicator_set_icon_full and app_indicator_set_attention_icon_full method calls. It would be good if onboard set an accessible/textual description of its indicator.

Thanks Luke, I've added a fix to trunk.

If not already done so, I think we should get this into Precise
