.
Steps to reproduce:
With the Orca screen reader activated, press Super+L to lock the screen. Press Tab
until the "show password" button appears.

Current result: Orca only says "button" without specifying what it is.
Expected result: Orca should say the button's name.

declarativeimports/plasmaextracomponents: PasswordField a11y/tooltip

PasswordField's Show Password button does not set a text property,
unlike Kirigami's. This means there's no tooltip, and the button has
no identifying information for screen readers.

Instead, set an appropriate action text, similar to Kirigami's version.
