Checks that all buttons have accessible names

| | |

| **Rule ID** | `a11y/button-name` |

## Solution

Buttons must have accessible names. Options: 1) Add text content inside the button. 2) Use aria-label for icon buttons. 3) Use aria-labelledby to reference visible text. 4) Use title attribute (less preferred). For `<input type='button'>`, use the value attribute.
