There are several issues with gaia-checkboxes and the screen reader:

* The semantics should be of a checkbox not a button,
* Checked/unchecked should be conveyed to the screen reader user
* Colour information (such as for dangerous checkboxes) should be also conveyed using an alternative modality (just colour is inaccessible).
* Make sure navigation is more efficient; investigate if it is possible to land on both label and gaia-checkbox
Fixed, the only outstanding issue is in bug 1225134
