Closes #242871

Summary

  • Add screen-reader announcements for mapping fields list updates in Index Management → Index details → Mappings, including the item count.
  • Announcements fire when filtering by Field types and when Search fields results change, using a shared minimal EuiLiveAnnouncer-based hook.

Test plan

  • Manual:
    • macOS Sequoia + Safari 18.5 + VoiceOver
    • Change Field types → verify announcement and focus stability
    • Type in Search fields → verify debounced announcement and focus stability

Accessibility notes

  • WCAG: 4.1.3 Status Messages (AA)
  • Before (per issue): list/table updates after Field types selection but no corresponding SR announcement.
  • After: SR announces “{label} list has been updated. {N items}.” for both Field types filtering and Search fields result updates, without forcing focus changes.
